There is one thing that all Baylor students have in common: the use of AirBear, Baylor’s beloved Wi-Fi system. Students, faculty and staff have access to the system throughout the buildings and common places on campus.
It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s AirBear and now it’s everywhere. ITS worked with Campus Living and Learning to install AirBear in all residence halls on campus, in an effort to satisfy student demand for wireless Internet access.
Senate members passed three bills Thursday that include having wi-fi in Baylor Stadium, creating parking spaces for mopeds and scooters and the increasing the number of staff members at Baylor who can help provide students with career opportunities.
The wi-fi bill would include enhancing mobile broadcast and wi-fi coverage during games and events in Baylor Stadium, said said Dallas junior Connor Mighell, campus improvements and affairs chair. The bill supports the Board of Regents’ proposition to install a number of telecommunication networks in the new Baylor Stadium.
After years of exasperating ethernet cables, the new age of Wi-Fi has finally arrived.
Pattie Orr, vice president for information technology, announced during the 61st Student Senate Legislative Session that wireless installation will begin this October.
