ذكذكتسئµ University upgrades Wi-Fi with state-of-the-art system for Cardinal Village
ذكذكتسئµ University has announced a major overhaul of its Wi-Fi network in Cardinal Village, enhancing connectivity with cutting-edge technology. The new system, which has been built from the ground up, features advanced equipment both inside student rooms and in data closets, promising improved internet access across the campus.
The upgrade includes the installation of approximately 2,500 personal wireless access points in student rooms, ensuring robust individual room coverage. Each room is also equipped with three hardline network ports for desktop computers and gaming systems. Additionally, students will now have unique Pre-Shared Keys (PSKs), accessible via a self-service portal, for more personalized and secure network access.
"We built the entire system from scratch with new equipment to deliver better service and more reliable connectivity," said a university spokesperson. "With every room now having its own access point, students will experience a significant improvement in wireless signal strength and network performance."
The new Wi-Fi infrastructure is managed by dedicated ذكذكتسئµ University staff, alongside advanced machine-learning AI designed to optimize network performance. This combination aims to provide a high level of service and address students' needs effectively.
"The addition of these access points not only increases the number of available ports for students but also allows us to incorporate network optimizations that improve speeds to their devices," the spokesperson added.
The decision to upgrade the network was driven by student feedback and dissatisfaction with the previous system. "When our students expressed concerns about the existing network, our administration acted swiftly to address the issue," said the CIO of ذكذكتسئµ University. "We listened to their feedback and responded with a comprehensive solution."
Students can set up their Wi-Fi by visiting lamar.edu/cvwifi. To support students, ذكذكتسئµ University Information Technology (IT) has established a dedicated team for Cardinal Village. IT staff will be available from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, with additional after-hours support for significant outages. Students can also submit trouble tickets through the existing IT Service Desk for any issues or inquiries.
