>As winter 2005 approaches, MIT will have a completely wireless enabled campus.
>
>We have completed an expansion of our wireless network by an additional 
>500 wireless access points bringing our total deployment of access points 
>to approximately 2000.  The new access points support the 802.11b (up to 
>11 Mbps) and 802.11g (up to 54 Mbps) standards, or the 802.11 a/b/g 
>standards, which are produced by several manufacturers of multiple-band 
>wireless network cards.
>
>This past fall, we provided complete high-speed wireless network coverage 
>in the main group and east campus which included expanded coverage 
>to:  14, 17, 24, 26, 31, 33, 34, 35, 41, 43, 44, 51, 54, 57, E17, E18, 
>E23, E25, E28, E32, E33, E34, E38, E39, E40, E48, E53, E56 and E60.  We 
>also provided complete high-speed wireless network coverage in four 
>graduate student residences:  Ashdown House, Eastgate, Green Hall and 
>Westgate Tower.
>
>This is IS&T's second largest wireless expansion effort over the past 
>twelve months, and will be followed by two more significant projects with 
>the ultimate goal of a complete wireless network throughout our MIT campus 
>by the end of 2005.
>
>MIT's original wireless network installation focused on classrooms, 
>libraries and other frequently used common spaces.  A number of 
>departments, labs and centers also maintain independent wireless networks 
>that can be used to connect to MITnet.  Many members of the MIT community 
>have requested expanded, higher speed wireless connectivity, and IS&T 
>continues to work with these departments, labs and centers to develop a 
>truly wireless campus.
>
>You can view coverage of individual MIT buildings on the Wireless Network 
>Coverage page, <http://web.mit.edu/network/wireless-map.html> , with links 
>to a list that details specific room coverage.  Should you have questions 
>or suggestions about the wireless expansion project, send them to project 
>team list <unwired at mit.edu>
