Outdoor wifi zone nearing completion
The IT department is working with Facilities to create an outdoor wireless zone for those students who may not have access to wireless Internet in their homes. The wireless solution will be provided by One Ring Networks, a large Tier 2 carrier that offers temporary broadband solutions to businesses.
At Grossmont College, One Ring will install outdoor access points atop Buildings 80 and 38, providing coverage to a limited area within parking lot 4. At Cuyamaca College, the access points will be installed near Building A and provide wireless access to a limited area within parking lot 5.

With wireless connectivity in these parking lots, students will be able to drive up, park, and access the wireless internet without having to leave their vehicles. The work for this project should be completed by the end of September. Details about the logistics are forthcoming.
