-The College of Optical Sciences now has complete wireless coverage.

The UA Wireless System consists of three Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs): UAWiFi, UAPublic, and UAWireless. SSIDs appear in a machine's wireless utility and is a way to group wireless network users based on available specified services. Users will need to select an SSID in order to connect to the UA Wireless System. Below is a description of the four available SSIDs on the UA Wireless System.

• UAWiFi
  UAWiFi is the new wireless SSID available for University Students, Faculty, and Staff. The use of this SSID requires a NetID, compliance with the NAC, and registration. This SSID provides users with full network bandwidth.
• UAPublic
  The UAPublic SSID is to be used by people who do not have a NetID or a temporary UA login. This SSID will function on a lower bandwidth and have a limited number of ports available, meaning there are less connections to this SSID. UAPublic users are routed off the campus network and only have access to basic functions, such as viewing the Internet and receiving email.
• UAGuest
  UAGuest is the SSID available for guests of the University who are assigned a temporary login.  For example, employers or vendors are considered guests of the University.  UAGuest users are routed off the campus network but can still access the Internet with full bandwidth capabilities.
