P. 59
When conflicts arise between devices using the 2.4 Ghz airspace and Smith's wireless LAN, precedence will be granted to the
wireless data network. Exceptions can be granted; requests for an exemption to this policy should be directed to the college CIO.
Departments may request wireless network access in specific locations not currently covered by submitting an application to the Director of
Network Operations or to designated alternates.
Smith does not currently require all wireless communications to be encrypted, but use of the Smith Secure wireless mode is very strongly
encouraged. Use of other secure communications options, such as SSH and HTTPS, is also highly recommended when such options are
available.
Access to Banner data or other Smith business systems via wireless access, regardless of location on or off campus, is strongly
discouraged, even when using encrypted protocols.
