WITS WIRELESS (Wi-Fi) HOTSPOTS - UPDATE
12 October 2011

(12 Oct, 2011) CNS as part of KIM (Knowledge & Information Management) has been very active in recent months extending the wireless network coverage on campus for use by both staff and students. Significant progress to this end has been made and this news item serves to inform the Wits community of the current status of wireless network coverage across all Wits campuses.
In addition CNS is proud to announce we have embarked on providing you with a visual representation of the Wireless hotspot coverage on Wits campuses.
Mapping of Wi-Fi hotspots on Google Maps:
For information on how to access the Wits wireless network, refer to the Staff IT Guide or Student IT Guide at http://www.wits.ac.za/access
