ICTS and Library IT have been working on a wireless upgrade of the Central Library over the last three months. This has more than doubled the wireless capacity of the Central Library. All floors now have wireless access. Good coverage is now available on over 90% of each floor. For more information on coverage see http://library.canterbury.ac.nz/services/computing.shtml
Is there any wireless access in Level 5, Central Library, e.g. Loft and the Training Room? I don’t see it listed in the site above.
Yes there is coverage on Lvl 5, but it varies considerably depending on where you are.
Lvl 5 Training Room – Weak Coverage (with dead spots)
Loft – North Side – Better coverage and quite consistant across the room.
Loft – South Side – Good consistant coverage
I also spoke to Sean, one of the Loft supervisors, and while students often visit the loft to get Wireless access set up on their laptop, they rarely access it there.
