Students will be able to access email, instant messaging and other web-based applications from almost anywhere on the 25-acre (101,171 sq m) campus. Wireless mesh technology links small access points mounted on street lamps, telephone poles, buildings and other locations to form a local network that can provide affordable mobile data and voice communications throughout a campus or city.
