Scheduled
Over the next ~2 months, IT staff and IT contractors will be proactively replacing wireless network hardware across the main campus and at satellite locations. This work will include replacing the wireless devices that are mounted on ceilings and walls throughout every building. This work will begin on the morning of Monday, November 6, 2023 and is expected to continue through Friday, December 29, 2023. The majority of this work will take place Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 AM and 5 PM. The initial focus will be on replacing the wireless devices in academic and administrative buildings. At a later date, additional communication will be sent out regarding the scheduling of this work for campus housing and Lipscomb Academy buildings.
Connectivity to the LUBisonNet & LipscombGuest wireless networks will be weak or unavailable for approximately 5 minutes as each wireless device is replaced. Wired network connectivity will not be impacted by this work. Only the wireless connectivity in 1-2 areas (such as a couple of classrooms or a few offices) is expected to be impacted at any given time. After the 5 minute replacement period, wireless connectivity is expected to be fully restored for an impacted area. IT staff will be proactively monitoring for any prolonged outages should such an outage occur. The campus community is encouraged to submit an IT Help Desk ticket if they experience a wireless connectivity issue that lasts longer than 5 minutes.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as this work takes place over the next couple of months! This proactive upgrade of wireless network hardware will allow for improved wireless connectivity speeds and help ensure the stability of Lipscomb's wireless network services. If you have any questions related to this work, please submit a ticket via helpdesk.lipscomb.edu or by sending an email to helpdesk@lipscomb.edu.
