IT improvements update
Posted: Tue 17 Apr 2012, 8:49am.
Over the vacation we've been busy installing more PCs and making further improvements to the wi-fi network.
New PCs
In Shawcross, we've added a whole new room with 24 new PCs. There are now more than 80 computers available in the IT Services user area, including 11 Macs. We've also added 6 new touchscreen PCs on the ground floor of the library making a total of 105 new PCs in the Library since September.
There are also several new locations on the campus where students can use computers including:
- Arts A104 and Arts B274 (13 PCs)
- Northfield and Park village social spaces (8 PCs)
- Chichester Geography social space (5 PCs)
- John Clifford West (4 PCs)
Many of the new locations also have printers, giving more options for printing work when deadlines are approaching.
Improved wi-fi
The project to improve wi-fi across the campus has also been progressing well during the vacation. We took advantage of the break to complete some time-consuming infrastructure changes in Fulton which have enabled us to significantly improve the wi-fi coverage in the two lecture theatres and will support the extra wi-fi points to be installed in seminar rooms in the next few weeks. We've also installed new wi-fi points in Arundel and Bramber.
Residents in Stanmer Court will also have noticed technicians installing wi-fi points as we continue to extend the wireless network to residences. When we have completed work in Stanmer Court, we will be moving on to East Slope and Norwich House.
