Given the significant increase in the use of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices,
wireless connectivity has become a universal expectation for students.Wireless networks have
become major communication tools in today's education across the world because they allow
mobility and immediate and easy access.
The wireless network at UAEU has become an important amenity in food courts where students
can access the university's online resources and do their assignments while enjoying a bite.
Students can have easy access to academic information, university schedules, events, and the
ability to connect with peers, friends or relatives. The network provides an opportunity for
students to be more proactive and productive.
To meet this increasing demand for wireless connectivity, UITS has just upgraded the wireless
network and its underlying network infrastructure to satisfy the needs of the ever increasing
number of customers in the food courts. Indeed, The current wireless network supports very high
data rates based on latest IEEE standards 802.11ac/b/g/n.With this upgrade, high performance
and better wireless coverage are guaranteed.
