Wireless networking offers increased convenience for mobile users. However, wireless
networking introduces significant additional risks not associated with wired networks
(e.g., exposing the network and its traffic to unauthorized parties external to the
physical space within which it is deployed).
If not deployed and configured correctly, wireless networking can cause service
interruptions and make network problems difficult or impossible to isolate and
identify. In addition, if wireless networking services are not properly secured,
unauthorized users may be able to access the university network or to monitor network
traffic. The installation of these devices must therefore be managed and
coordinated.
University Information Technology Services (UITS) and regional campus counterparts
are responsible for the university's data, video, and voice communications network.
This includes designing, deploying, documenting, monitoring, maintaining, supporting,
and troubleshooting the physical data, video, and voice networks of the university, as
well as the management of the Internet Protocol (IP) address spaces assigned to Indiana
University (including public and private addresses).
This policy applies to all users of Indiana University information technology
resources regardless of affiliation, and irrespective of whether those resources are
accessed from on-campus or off-campus locations.
