Working wireless means having Internet access without being connected with a cable. Wireless and thus mobile computing improves communication in many areas: lectures, seminars, meetings, or independent work in the student restaurant, library, or dormitory.
The goal of the wireless LAN project is to further the effective use of semi-public space. The project is accompanied by research to explore the possibilities and limits for teaching, research and administration.
A growing number of base stations for wireless access are being installed in the working areas and in the lecture halls at ETH. Users need a client-card for their laptop computers, which they can buy at a subsidized price in the student computer shop.
The access-points for the wireless LAN are:
- two complete buildings (IFW and RZ)
- some lecture halls in the city center buildings and on the H?nggerberg campus
- semi-public spaces, which can be used as working spaces (i.e. study zones in the main building, student restaurants)
