Wireless upgrade in progress

By late March, 2008, campus users will have a new secure wireless access option in addition to VPN access.

Devices that support WPA2 Enterprise (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) will be able to connect to the UM wireless network when the three-month upgrade process is completed. Each of the approximately 100 wireless access points (WAPs) on campus will require upgrades. The cost of the WAP upgrades will be covered centrally, even if a unit originally purchased the WAPs.

A detailed release about the wireless upgrade from CITO Ray Ford is available at http://www.umt.edu/it/news/wirelessupgrade.htm.

IT inventories and roadmaps available

IT inventories and roadmaps have been added to the IT website. Inventories provide a snapshot of current IT services and resources. Roadmaps depict strategic directions for a number of major IT initiatives. Currently, roadmaps are available for the campus network, identity management, student single sign-on to enterprise systems, and a notification system.

The inventories and roadmaps will continue to expand and evolve. We welcome your comments and feedback to make these resources more helpful.
