Wi-Fi improvement project

In order to improve Wi-Fi coverage in the main SPH campus buildings, IT has engaged a vendor to conduct a scan and survey of the Wi-Fi system in the campus buildings and floors listed below.  The team will bring Wi-Fi monitoring equipment through all floors to measure current Wi-Fi strength and detect interference.  The results will help us improve the existing system, and help us create a plan to improve coverage.

The vendor will be accompanied by a security escort during the surveys to unlock doors and get access to as many locations as is reasonable in order to build a complete coverage map as best we can.

The project is estimated to take about 7 business days.
