What is the speed of UNLs wireless network?
The wireless network is comprised of 802.11b and 802.11g devices, which operate at raw data rates of 11 MB/sec and 54 MB/sec, respectively. PC Cards that are compatible with 802.11g equipment will also operate with 802.11b equipment, but only at the lower 802.11b speeds. It should be noted that actual throughput may be considerably lower due to distance from the radio (weaker signals are throttled back to lower speeds for reliability) and the number of other users connected to the same access point. In summary, the speed of your wireless network connection is almost always good enough for common web and e-mail functions. Anything requiring a sustained high amount of network capacity may not work properly in all locations throughout the day.
