From 1 June access to wireless networking from laptops will be available in the University Library’s West Room for staff and students of the university via the Computing Service’s pilot “Lapwing” service. Raven passwords will be required (see the Computing Service web pages for details).
Lapwing, a wireless hot-spot service, is currently being piloted within the Computing Service. Advice and instruction leaflets will be available shortly. Lapwing should enable many users to dispense with the installation and configuration of VPDN client software, and set up a wireless connection more straightforwardly via Raven.
