Brief History • RUWireless started as a project in January of 2002 • First buildings to be installed were the student centers - Fall/Winter of 2002/2003 • Several libraries and departments were added during the summer of 2003 • Today there are 27 buildings with RUWireless and several more in the process of being installed
Installation Process • Determine coverage needs • Conduct site survey and create report • Coordinate data cable installation • Install physical equipment and test network • Manage and maintain network and supporting systems • Provide support for users and UCS/UCM
Features and Benefits • Guest Account Management System: Allows department liaisons to create temporary RUWireless guest accounts for visitors to their departments. • Statistics Website: Allows department liaisons to track RUWireless usage in their departments • Bandwidth Monitoring System: Automatically monitors user consumption of bandwidth and limits a user if they consume too much. • Virus Detection System: Monitors wireless traffic for virus signatures and automatically quarantines and notifies possibly infected users. • Tunneling Technology: Allows each access point to tunnel traffic back to the wireless gateways where policy and authentication is enforced. This level of distribution dramatically lowers the cost of implementation for departments.
