3. Wi-Fi System Enhancement

ITU is undertaking Wi-Fi system enhancement project in campus. With the assistance with end-users and vendors, we have completed phase of preliminary testing in 14/F, HHB campus.

We are preparing for the second phase of test which is to extend the coverage of test area to different floors in HHB campus and test the compatibility of Wi-Fi products with current campus network system.

There will be short interruption of service on the affected areas during testing period and users are advised to check notice on the floor for details.
