Campus WiFi – AirPennNet – University of Pennsylvania
Founded by Benjamin Franklin, University of Pennsylvania “is home to a diverse undergraduate student body of over 10,000, hailing from every state in the union and all around the globe. Penn consistently ranks among the top 10 universities in the country. Another 10,000 students are enrolled in Penn’s 12 graduate and professional schools, which are national leaders in their fields. The Wharton School is consistently one of the nation’s top three business schools.”
AirPennNet WiFi Profile
“BISC N&T designs and operates AirPennNet, the campus-wide wireless network. ISC N&T will work with schools, centers, and departments to set up wireless local area networks (LANs) to enable end users to connect to AirPennNet in subscribed areas of campus. Since the campus does not have 100% coverage, ISC N&T accepts requests from Penn organizations to expand wireless coverage in the areas that they want to subscribe to wireless service. These intended coverage areas are fully supported by ISC. AirPennNet wireless LANs are made up of one or many Access Points (APs), devices that connect to PennNet wired network ports and provide radio frequency signals to wireless devices (like your laptop or hand held unit). Each AP used by Penn’s AirPennNet can provide wireless service to approximately 25 users. Each AirPennNet AP is currently configured to provide up to 54 Mbps of shared bandwidth.”
