UCSD has wireless guidelines pertaining especially to public areas where several campus entities have an interest in similar wireless services.

• General rules: Wireless services are subject to the same rules and standards that govern other communications services at UCSD.


• Radio interference: Because the wireless network is a system that transmits radio signals and is a shared resource, it's subject to radio communication rules concerning interference and shared use.


• Reporting: All wireless equipment must be registered with Administrative Computing and Telecommunications (ACT) and Academic Computing Services (ACS).


• (802.11a b/g) Network Standards: To successfully deploy an 802.11a b/g network, all equipment operating in the 2.4 and 5.8 GHz spectrum must be carefully installed and configured. You must coordinate the installation in or near general or common-use areas with ACT and ACS. This avoids physical and logical interference among components of different network segments.

Questions or network problems?
