Campus Wireless Upgrade
BGSU Main and Firelands campuses combined contain almost 3000 wireless access points. This connection hardware is near the end of its lifespan and is controlled by a wireless infrastructure that is no longer supported. To upgrade this infrastructure would cost $1,000,000 over our current maintenance budget for a five year period. This project will replace our entire wireless network and infrastructure with the leading technology of its kind over the next 15 months. Included in this project will be an expansion of our wireless network and capacity. This will better segment our network for increased security while simplifying user access.
Scheduling details are constantly evolving as construction crews work through campus. Summer ’21 and ’22 will see upgrades made to Residence Halls, with most academic and support buildings being updated throughout Fall ’21 and Spring ’22 semesters. Occupants in these buildings will be notified in advance of conversion work, which may result in brief wireless outages at each access point while hardware is swapped.
