New Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Wireless Improves User Experience

VALDOSTA – As fall semester approaches, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ students, faculty and staff can look forward to an improved wi-fi network, now powered by SmartPass Connect. The new Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Wireless network helps Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ achieve its goal of being an inviting and dynamic institution, through the use of technology.

Some features offered through Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Wireless include the following:

• Easy connection - To begin using Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Wireless, select “Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ-StartHere” from your network listing. A configuration wizard automatically creates a profile for your device.

• One-time setup - You no longer have to re-enter your login information each time you wish to connect to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Wireless. After the configuration wizard is complete, your connection will be transferred to the “Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ-Personal” network. For the semester (180 days), your device will automatically connect to “Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ-Personal” when in range.

• Off-campus settings - Even when you are away from campus and not connected to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Wireless, your network settings are preserved. When you return to campus, you’re automatically connected.
