Wireless - Outdoor Wireless Coverage

Tags Wireless

Issue/Question

  • Are there any outdoor areas with intentional wifi coverage?
  • Are there any parking lots with intentional wifi coverage?

Environment

  • Oregon State University
  • Wireless Network

Explanation

Most of OSU's wireless network is intended to provide coverage in indoor spaces. Wireless may bleed over into outdoor areas but coverage is not particularly good in those cases.

However, a few outdoor areas have intentional wifi coverage; they are listed below.

Resolution

Yellow areas on this map indicate outdoor wireless coverage areas:
