Posted by Information Technology Services on December 13, 2021 in General Announcements

The聽Dalhousie聽Advanced聽Network Project聽is聽modernizing the聽way you connect.聽A new network will be rolled out across Dalhousie campuses and University of King鈥檚 College.

Current Status

We are currently in the Construction Phase, which includes adding new devices into the existing network, configuring the identity/security policies for consistent user access and implementing automation tools to streamline network management. We are targeting a winter timeframe for the wired deployment and spring/summer 2022 for the wireless deployment.

Will my network connection be disrupted during the network upgrade?

The聽network upgrade is a major undertaking聽and plans are in place to minimize disruption during standard business hours however there may be minor disruption to network service which will be communicated prior to the upgrade.

How will the network be rolled out?

The new Dalhousie network will be rolled out using a phased approach.聽聽Buildings will be upgraded to the network according to聽schedule,聽which we will share closer to聽the rollout.聽聽During the rollout, if聽you are in a building that has transitioned to the new network, you will connect to the new Dalhousie network. If you are in a building that has not yet transitioned to the new network, you will continue to connect to the current network 鈥淒AL-WPA2鈥. 聽

What should I look for after the DAL Advanced Network upgrade is complete?

Check to make sure your workstation and mobile devices can connect to the network. If your workstation or device fails to connect to the new network once the upgrade is complete, you may need to restart your computer. Contact the if a restart doesn鈥檛 resolve the problem. 聽

My device stopped working after the upgrade was聽complete, what should I do?聽

Please restart your computer or mobile device first聽and if that fails to resolve the issue, contact the聽聽at 902.494.4357.
