Plans call for totals of 15 wireless access points in Lumpkin Hall, 15 in Buzzard Hall, five in the Lantz facility including O'Brien Stadium, four in McAfee Gymnasium, one in Coleman Hall, 19 in Klehm Hall, one in the Physical Science Building, seven in Old Main, five in the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union, two in the Gregg Triad, 15 in Booth Library, and seven in the Life Sciences Building and Annex. While this will not provide 100 percent saturation coverage of campus, it is expected to cover most academic areas.

This will allow users with laptop computers access to the Internet from almost any point on campus. "Wireless is becoming a common expectation," Chatterji said, "and it's availability is an important part of the future of the Internet. There has been a demand from students and faculty for more access."

In addition to laptops, wireless technology of the future will also provide access for PDA devices and Web telephony, including voice over IP (VOIP).
