Wireless access gives Simpson students, faculty and staff the freedom to use their laptop computers on the network, without being restricted by location. This technology expands the current educational uses of our wired network. It allows students and faculty to collaborate beyond traditional classroom settings and pursue new academic directions.
Faculty and staff can have their laptops configured by information service by calling (515)961-1681. Students who own their own laptop can follow the instructions below.
