Starting November 2022, the Office of Information Technology (OIT) is beginning a multi-year journey to build out faster, more secure Wi-Fi across UCI.

Many buildings on campus are not adequately equipped to provide Wi-Fi connectivity fast enough for today’s online demands. As a result, there are several areas of campus with slow or unstable connections. Over the next five years, OIT plans to upgrade 347 floors across 129 buildings, providing a reliable, consistent, high-speed user experience.

Upgrades will happen in phases. OIT is prioritizing buildings and floors where the existing Wi-Fi experience causes the most frustration for faculty, students, and researchers. Additional communications and physical signs will be provided for each building before and during installation. 

This campus Wi-Fi project is a strategic IT investment for UCI. OIT intends to minimize interruptions to campus operations and communicate well in advance when disruption is required.  Now more than ever, it’s important to stay connected.
