Wireless provides network access to the World Wide Web from a variety of locations on campus without a cable physically connected from the wall to your PC. Imagine eating lunch in the outside patio area at Washington Hall - reading email or getting caught up with your class notes via Campus Pipeline

Standard Wireless Service is available to all ASU faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students.

• There is no additional software to install.
