Wireless Policy
Wireless networking brings with it a host of complications and UIT is working to develop an infrastructure that will allow us to bring full-featured, reliable wireless connectivity to the Tufts community while restricting the use of the university's resources to those who are authorized to do so. Because the security concerns arising from individual deployments of wireless networks pose a potentially serious liability for Tufts University, UIT must insist that all wireless networking deployment be coordinated centrally.
UIT will, at its discretion, disconnect any unauthorized Access Point/Base Station that it discovers on the Tufts network, and may seek disciplinary action against the device's owner/operator pursuant to the rules laid forth in the Responsible Use Policy .
In an effort to stay current with recent changes in wireless technology, a new, updated Wireless Policy is in development. During this process, all relevant networking technology policies apply.
For wireless registration information, procedures, clarifications, or wireless policy questions, please contact the UIT Network Engineering group at 617-627-2550 (7-2550) or noc@net.tufts.edu.
