Can a Department or a College request “full building” UIUCnet Wireless coverage for a building, and if so, who pays for that additional coverage?
Yes, as part of the wireless survey, Units are given the option to request full building coverage. The additional cost of providing full building coverage is charged to the Unit making the request. In some cases the additional cost of covering an entire building is relatively small. In other cases a significant amount of additional equipment must be deployed. Each building is different, and the need for additional equipment will depend greatly on how isolated the “private” areas of the building are from the “public” areas of the building. If a private office is adjacent to a classroom or a conference room, there is a good chance that there will be some UIUCnet Wireless coverage “leakage” into that office. The only way to guarantee total coverage is for the Unit to agree to pay for it.
