Campus Wireless Network

Service Overview

NCKU began to build the campus wireless local area network (WLAN) at the end of 2001. In earlier times, the Wi-Fi service was available only in public areas (e.g. libraries, international convention centers, Banyan Garden, Cheng Kung Lake, computer and network center). Due to the increasing demand for mobile network services in recent years, and devices including laptops, PDAs, and even mobiles being equipped with Wi-Fi function, NCKU opened the Wi-Fi service in 2004 for teachers and students to subscribe with their email account. We have also added access points (APs) to some departments and institutes and signed up to the national inter-school Wi-Fi roaming. Through the inter-school roaming mechanism, NCKU teachers and students enjoy the convenience of Wi-Fi service at other schools and teachers and students enjoy the service at NCKU.
