[Astro] [CAPT] Next Generation Network: Upcoming Cabling Works at CAPt

[Alfonso Aragon-Salamanca]

Dear all,

A brief update on this. As you can see, the cabling team are here already. They will be around until Friday. The plan is to install wireless access points in virtually every room, so the wireless access should be much better.

There should be no interruption of internet access while they work. There will be some drilling and related noise, I am afraid, but I think the wireless internet will improve very significantly.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best wishes,

Alfonso

Dear all,

See message  below. Sorry about the short notice, but I just got it. In summary: as part of Digital and Technology Services' ongoing improvements to enhance connectivity and enable the benefits of the Next Generation Network, work to install additional wireless access points (WAPs) will begin in CAPT on Thursday 22 May (for up to 7 days). Hopefully, this will improve wireless internet access in all parts of the building.

I don't actually think it will take very long (my guess is that they will only need to install a couple of additional WAPs, but all the information I have is in the message below.

There will be only minor disruptions (see below for details), but please let me know if it gets in the way of your work.

Best wishes,

Alfonso

What to Expect



To install new WAPs, our teams will be running new cabling through the building, from the wiring centres to the location of the new WAP. While this work is ongoing you may experience:



  *   Drilling as part of the installation process.
  *   Contractors will need access to areas where New WAPs will be installed.
  *   Some work will be carried out at height, with appropriate safety measures in place.
  *   If any WAPs are to be installed in teaching spaces, work will only proceed if the room is clear.



We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete these essential upgrades. Our contractors will work to minimise any disruption as much as possible.



If you have any concerns or access requirements, please contact nextgennetwork at nottingham.ac.uk<mailto:nextgennetwork at nottingham.ac.uk>.



Thank you for your support.
