As such, the latest standards, processes and deployment methodologies being proposed are being piloted using the Hartley Library Building (B36) on the Highfield campus. This pilot is to demonstrate a valid process for design, installation and assurance of an upgraded or new wireless service. The RF design and physical layout design of the Wireless Access Points (WAPs) to support this service improvement have been completed.

Existing access point cable and / or runs will need to be relocated and new access points and cable runs will need to be installed.
