Wireless connection to networks and the Internet has become almost a neccessity in today's busy, mobile world. Emory University is continually building and improving infrastructure to support wireless service across the Emory communities.
The Emory Wireless service supports the wireless hardware on campus that provides access to EmoryUnplugged. If an area exists on campus where wireless access is unavailable, a user or department can order the installation of a module that extends the reach of EmoryUnplugged to that area.
EmoryUnplugged is the preferred wireless service for the Emory community. This service provides unlimited speed and encrytped traffic for users with an Emory Network ID (ENID) from multiple locations across campus, with no limits on what the user can access.
Additionally, the wireless hardware also give access to EmoryGuest, which is provided for official guests of Emory University who have not been granted a Network ID and password for access to the Internet. Users must have an active wireless card that is set up to detect new networks. Guest users will be limited to only web access and limited bandwidth.
