Access to Western Wireless is only available to students, faculty, staff and visitors of the University who have a valid Western Identity. Faculty, staff and students can find more information about their Western Identity on the About Your Western Identify page. Visitors to campus who are participants in the "eduroam" initiative can refer to http://eduroam.uwo.ca/. All other visitors looking for access to Western's wireless network need to make arrangements with their campus host prior to visiting campus. A major focus area for ITS is wireless coverage and the migration to 802.11n Wireless Technologies. The high penetration and use of wireless devices across all areas of campus is challenging some original coverage designs previously unintended to have full wireless coverage. In the fall of 2010, ITS chose ARUBA as the next generation wireless technology solution to be deployed on campus. A project to deploy this new 802.11n service across campus is underway. The project will result in a complete overhaul of the existing wireless environment and a redesign of wireless coverage in each building on campus. The new 802.11n technology will provide improved performance for both 802.11n and non-802.11n Wi-Fi devices on campus.Western Wireless
