<p>Does anyone know if they plan to cover Central with the network also? OIT's website only specifically states East and West but not Central. </p>
<p>If they are not going to do Central, there wouldn't be any point in upgrading my existing laptops for them. </p>
<p>On a related note, has Duke released any specs or info on the implementation of such a network? It would be nice to know whether they have any plans to broadcast on the 5GHz spectrum vs. only using 2.4GHz.</p>
<p>Looks like you may be out of luck. From the chronicle article about it: </p>
<p>"We plan to use some older equipment to provide coverage in residence halls on Central Campus until the renovation of Central is complete"</p>
<p>Wonderful...by the time the renovations are complete I'd probably be using cellular LTE instead of 802.11 hotspots.</p>
<p>Considering they are planning on tearing down Central eventually, I doubt it. By eventually, I mean within the next 20 years.</p>
