Where can I access the wireless network at CERN?
Public wireless access points at CERN are going to be installed in the official conference rooms (i.e. conference rooms which can be reserved via the booking system on the CERN web site), if the administrators of those rooms apply for a wireless installation. This service is provided in order to facilitate network connections for people holding and/or attending conferences, workshops and meetings. It should be noted that wireless technology is based on radio waves propagation and, as matter of fact, often large part of wireless access points neighbourhoods are covered by the service. This means that offices and places close to conference rooms can receive, by coincidence, wireless signals. Moreover, wireless access points can be found in some users offices, in the case that they do not interfere with the official ones in conference rooms. Users can ask CERN for wireless installations in their offices but they are required to pay for the service deployment and maintenance.
