Can departments install their own wireless networking equipment?
No. A wireless network will usually escape the confines of a building, and could easily interfere with other wireless users in other buildings or with other wireless networking components installed into the building by Information Services. This would lead to very unreliable operation and tremendously increased support costs. Some UNL departments have already attempted to install their own wireless networking equipment, and discovered that they totally disrupted the existing wired network within their buildings. Generally, any wireless networking equipment found within a building that is not part of the campus-wide wireless network will be disconnected with little or no advance notice (depending upon if the equipment is currently causing harm or not).
