Read about UCSD's wireless services guidelines.

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

  • 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 (PDF) concerning interference and shared use.
  • Reporting: All wireless equipment must be approved by and registered with IT Services.
  • (802.11a/b/g/n) Network Standards: To successfully deploy an 802.11a/b/g network, all equipment operating in the 2.4 and 5 GHz spectrum must be carefully installed and configured in coordination with IT Services.
