RedRover Upgrades
CIT is upgrading the wireless network from Enterasys to Chantry Networks equipment. The new access points provide additional support for wifi compliant wireless devices including the higher bandwidth capability provided by wireless Ethernet IEEE 802.11a&g specifications. As of this writing there are approximately three-hundred-sixty access points in sixty-five buildings that have RedRover service in some or all of the program space. There are approximately fifty Enterasys access points left to upgrade. The replacement the Enterasys access points will be complete in approximately eight weeks.

RedRover & Guest
An often requested feature for the RedRover wireless service is access for individuals whom dont have a Network IDs. This is now possible with the new system and, CIT will be enabling a RedRover-Guest service soon.

RedRover & Network Registry
The rover wireless network was one of the first networks to comply with the network registry policy. The new system while providing the ability to offer new services has also provided new challenges in the continuation of integration with network registry. Network Registry will be coming to the RedRover network with the roll-out of RedRover-Guest.
