MIT's Wireless Map
MIT unwired last month when Information Services & Technology installed the last of 2,800 wireless access points, making the MIT campus one of the largest geographic entities -- about 9.4 million square feet -- served by a single wireless network.
Blanket wireless service is reason enough to celebrate on a campus where most of the 10,000 students own laptop computers and many work into the not-so-wee hours of the morning. IS&T and the MIT Museum are commemorating the achievement with an exhibition called "iSpots," which features three electronic real-time maps of campus wireless use projected onto large Plexiglas rectangles that appear to float in the room.
