Wireless Connectivity Policy

Interference

For 802.11b/g wireless computer networks, there are several possible sources of interfering signals, including 2.4 GHz wireless phones, some microwave ovens, X10 wireless cameras, Bluetooth wireless devices, and other wireless LANs.

These devices can use the same frequency as 802.11b/g wireless computer networks, and there are no inherent mechanisms built into the associated technologies to stop them from interfering with each other.  When multiple devices and technologies are active in the 2.4 Ghz range at the same time, it can cause intermittent wireless network service outages.

ITS will need help from all members of the campus community to minimize wireless network interference.  We recommend that wherever possible other 2.4 GHz wireless devices not be used in the same area as the wireless computer network.
