THEY�RE CONNECTED! WI-FI INSTALLED IN THE QUADRANGLE & MOODY TOWERS

Students returning to the Quadrangle and Moody Towers for the Spring semester will find that these residence halls are now fully wireless. UH has upgraded and improved wireless network services throughout the Moody Towers (North, South and MT Commons area), OB Hall, Settegast Hall, Taub Hall, Law Residence Hall and Bates Residence Hall. This was done in response to resident feedback indicating students wanted the ability to possess and use multiple mobile devices such as laptops, smartphones and tablets in their rooms and anywhere else in the residence halls.

Previously, wireless services were available only in the lobbies of Moody Towers and the Quadrangle. However, over the winter break UH IT added 38 Access Points (APs) in Moody Towers and 40 APs in the Quadrangle to make wireless services available throughout the buildings. In addition to mobile devices, students can access the wireless services through their desktop computer with the use of a wireless card.

�UHWireless� is the associated wireless network for Residential Life and Housing and also throughout the university. The wireless services for Residential Life and Housing is now at par with the rest of the campus.

Wireless services are separate from and in addition to the wired network also available in the residence halls. Wired network enhancement will be scheduled sometime in the future.
