Keele was one of the first universities to provide a network service to students, which started in 2000 with a hardwired system to 3200 rooms in the halls of residence. In parallel there has been a piecemeal provision of WiFi in teaching spaces and areas where students congregate between classes. Keele is presently installing a campus-wide WiFi system to all buildings and includes coverage of outdoor spaces. The WiFi system will replace the hardwired network in the halls of residence. The presentation will cover the design of the new systems and the evolution of techniques Keele has used to manage the student demand for network access.
