Policy Reminder: Wireless Access Points

The installation of Wireless Access Points (WAPs) at LBNL is prohibited except by the IT Division’s LBLnet Services Group. The installation of WAPs by others violates the Laboratory's security and spectrum policies and puts our ability to offer wireless service at risk. IT actively scans for so called rogue access points and, if detected, a security incident will be recorded against the user and the division, and the hardware will be confiscated. Computers acting as wireless access points, that is, offering wireless service, are also prohibited.  

Wireless service is provided at select locations across the Laboratory. In addition, wireless service can be installed by LBLnet staff at additional locations on a time-and-materials basis. Current locations and information on additional services can be found here. For more information on wireless security, go here.
