The UM-Flint wireless network will be unavailable in the Mott Harding University Center (UCEN) on July 11th and 12th. The office of Information Technology Services (ITS) is beginning the process of upgrading the wireless network, starting with the University Center. A key component of the upgrade process is performing a wireless survey, which requires that the current wireless equipment be turned off in the survey area.
Any faculty or staff member based in the UCEN, who uses a non-mobile wireless connection as their sole link to the campus computer network, is asked to contact Erik Taipalus in ITS (erikt@umflint.edu) so that arrangements can be made for a temporary network connection. This does not apply to laptop computers, but primarily to desktop computers that are using only wireless to connect to the network. Full wireless services will be available in all other campus buildings.
Thank you for your understanding during this important upgrade process.
