Campus Network upgrade and Wi-Fi Rollout PHASE 3 - CHANGES & HOW THESE AFFECT USERS

PHASE 3 - AIMS Campus Network Upgrade and Wi-Fi Rollout

Secure and Protect the Network Itself

Network no longer behind doors and walls - neighbours will see our Wi-Fi as well and all access must be secured Only known users should connect to our private ‘education’ network Non-Focus devices should only connect to the non-private network and the ‘internet’ Secure and Protect the Network Itself

Level 5 Websites Level 8 Websites Protect the Users

The network needs to support website access policies Act as a second level of protection to the web browsing controls in the devices and via the central Focus Internet Filter Address issues with protection having been compromised by providing internet access outside of the staff and admin areas for events that take place in the campus and other reasons Protect the Users

Supporting Users, Devices and Access to Applications

We are all increasingly reliant on internet connectivity….to access many applications and using more portable devices Students and teachers with Focus devices Teachers own laptops CA personnel and other community support Visitors For events taking place in the campus Supporting Users, Devices and Access to Applications
