Lobo-WiFi is on its way. Information Technology Services will begin to consolidate wireless network access next week by renaming the UNM_Wireless_Guest connection to Lobo-WiFi. The name change will feature additional services including secure e-mail.
Uniform access should be complete when students return for the Fall 2008 semester when all wireless network services will be available via the single Lobo-WiFi connection.
The wireless network continuous improvement project is in its second year. Many high-traffic common indoor and outdoor areas not previously covered by wireless network service now have coverage. High Priority areas - determined by student polling include areas such as the Duck Pond, Smith Plaza, Yale and Cornell malls, which were completed in June 2007.
When the wireless improvements project is completed in 2009, the main campus will have as complete coverage as possible with one uniform connection.
Improvements are being made in part by a donation from the New Mexico Educators Federal Credit Union.
