A next generation wireless network called Unifi is being rolled out across campus to replace the existing SNAP wireless. Unifi is available in all areas with SNAP coverage. Work is in progress to extend wireless coverage to other areas over the coming months.

Since wireless was originally rolled out at UWA, staff and students have come to rely on it as an integral part of their campus life. Unifi is an ITS initiative to replace SNAP and provide a new wireless networking experience for the entire UWA community. As Unifi is built using the latest wireless networking technology it is faster and more reliable than SNAP, supporting up to 2500 concurrent connections - three times more than SNAP.

Information Services has rolled out a beta version of the new University wireless network, called Unifi, to all students and it has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from them. Following on from the successful beta testing by students, we would like to extend the service to staff, effective immediately.

Although the SNAP Wireless network is still available for use, Information Services encourages you to sign into Unifi to familiarize yourself with this exciting new service and be part of the beta testing. Your help in testing Unifi will assist Information Services identify and resolve any issues that have not been discovered during our in-house testing phase. Please e-mail [email protected] if you have issues using Unifi.
