  access to the UM network and radio frequencies

Points (draft)

• Key Elements
• Access provided to the UM network via non-OIT
  supported access points and via access points
  that have not received an exception is in
  violation of the wireless policy.
• A process will be defined for how rogue APs
  will be handled -
• As buildings are refreshed, locate access points
  (APs)
• Identify owner of rogue AP and determine if it is
  related to research related work or other
• If research related, then make accommodations if
  other, then understand the need for the AP and
  deal accordingly (APs may be installed as part of
  network refresh or consult with department for
  funding of AP installation)
