MIT's wireless networking infrastructure has been installed to support
the academic mission of the Institute.  The technology used, based on
the IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN standard, works in the 2.4Ghz radio band,
a shared part of the radio spectrum.  In order to limit interference
with MIT's network infrastructure, the Institute asks that members of
the MIT community avoid the use of devices that work in the 2.4Ghz
region, such as some cordless phones.  Users wishing to deploy wireless
LAN technology in a small office or lab environment may do so under
certain restrictions, please see here for details.  Users wishing large
area/departmental coverage should contact Information Systems to arrange
for MIT-maintained service.
