Summary
In the summer of 2019, ITC started a major initiative to upgrade all wireless infrastructure on campus. The project is estimated to take until the end of 2022 to complete.
There are three steps to complete the wireless upgrade within a given building:
Active RF survey: contractors walk the building and take measurements to produce a proposed wireless design that meets or exceeds the requirements for good wireless network performance. This can usually be completed within one day, except for very large buildings (such as the central library complex). The final report outlines the locations in which wireless APs will be installed. Proposed designs usually become available 3-4 weeks after the survey.
Wiring AP locations: the wireless AP locations need Ethernet cabling to act as an uplink for the wireless radios. Contractors come in to install this wiring, together with any required wire mold or conduit. Several potential contractors are walked through the building to evaluate construction and submit bids for the job. One contractor is then awarded the project and usually starts work 2-3 weeks later. The wiring itself can usually be completed in 1-3 weeks, and depends heavily on the size of the building.
Install new wireless hardware: the new access points are connected to the new wiring and then fixed to the ceiling or walls. Once all APs are installed, the old wireless hardware is administratively disabled and the new APs start providing services. A short time later, someone removes all the old hardware. This step can usually be completed with one to two days.
See this KB article for more details on the three steps, the history of wireless at Dartmouth, and the scope and time lines for the upgrade.
