Scott's team plans on deploying a fourth phase of the WLAN. This phase will cover any dead spots identified by the university's staff, but it will also react to user feedback and requests collected through the solution's online user feedback feature. Phase Four will also cover nearly all PhD and research spaces. Consultation with all faculty members and input from all IT support teams are being used to determine which spaces will be covered. Additionally, a pilot of 802.11-based wireless phones will be undertaken soon. Planned as a replacement of existing pagers and two-way radios, the university's PABX is already capable of supporting VoIP, a critical requirement for WiFi-based IP telephony. |
