The housing corporation
recently approved funding for installation and operation of a wireless
network. This network is shared infrastructure for use by undergraduates
in the fraternity house. The footprint of the wireless network extends
from the interior of the house into portions of the yard. This network
now allows undergraduates of Sigma Mu to operate a computer at LAN
speeds approaching 11 Mbs and internet speeds of 1.5 Mbs.
This network
was configured and installed by Kirk Donahoe and Robert Cook.
This
milestone makes the Sigma Mu chapter of Phi Gamma Delta the first
fraternity at Mississippi State to utilize a wireless network.
This
network is compatible with ongoing plans by the university to deploy
wireless network technologies. See this related link
for details.
