York Tech's Wireless Campus

York Technical College

In an ever-growing technology arena, wireless networking technologies are becoming a crucial component of a campus network. Improvements in the bandwidth and security of Wi-Fi technology make it possible for students and guests to access the Internet using their personal laptops and mobile devices without physically connecting to the campus network. Any user accessing York Technical College’s network resources should adhere to the Acceptable Use Policy, as stated in the faculty and student handbook.   

York Technical College provides a wireless networking infrastructure for faculty, students, and guests. The College is in the process of replacing the current wireless network; known as YTROAM. 

The new network known as YTGUEST1 is for students and visitors; YTROAM1 is for Faculty and Staff using their domain (Operations) accounts.  The access points (APs) are strategically placed throughout the campus for maximum utilization.  Additional APs will be added to increase wireless coverage in more areas.
