Campus WiFi – AirBears – University of California, Berkeley
This is a continuation of an earlier post about university campus WiFi networks. The first school that I will be profiling is the University of California, Berkeley.
“The University of California, Berkeley, is a public research university located in Berkeley, California, United States. The oldest of the ten major campuses affiliated with the University of California, the University was founded in 1868 in a merger of the private College of California and the public Agricultural, Mining, and Mechanical Arts College. The university occupies 6,651 acres (2,692 ha) with the central campus resting on approximately 200 acres (80.9 ha)[3] in the San Francisco Bay Area.” [Wikipedia]
