Scheduled Work - Edge Network

The Edge network replacement has been 98% completed.  The only area outstanding is the School of Physics & Astronomy which is expected to be completed during the early part of 2025.

Wi-Fi

• Initial phase - this is a like for like replacement of the existing Wireless Access Points with the new Aruba access points has been completed.
• Improvement phase - Post install Wi-Fi surveys were carried out to highlight gaps in coverage or poor signal strength. The output of the surveys were then reviewed with business areas and designs reviewed to add additional WAP's to new locations or places where coverage is poor and also to move existing WAP's to optimise coverage and signal.

There are 3 phases to the wireless improvements - High, Medium & Low priority.  These priorities have been agreed with each of the Colleges and all phases are expected to be completed during the Summer of 2025.
