The University of California, Irvine, was slow to upgrade its wireless availability in student housing, primarily because of budget constraints, but its recent upgrade means the school has powerful infrastructure that will remain relevant for several years. Campus Technology reports that students had started bringing their own wireless routers to their dorm rooms, but when the campus’ wireless network launched in December, 85% of residents logged in on day one and the network had no hiccups. The IT department is saving money because of the reduced tech support load and the obsolescence of prone-to-breaking wall jacks, and it planned ahead for long-term capabilities by choosing its system with the expection that students will continue bringing more Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
