Welcome to Stop #8 on your Student Tech Tour. If you do not reside in a UNT Residence Hall, you may wish to proceed to Stop #9: Copyright, IT and You.
Here you will learn about how to sign up for wireless connectivity in the UNT Residence Halls. Connectivity in the residence halls is provided for residents' convenience, where small student computer labs also are provided. All housing areas feature wireless and wired-networking in the individual rooms.
Background: The University of North Texas has partnered with Apogee, an Austin-based provider of on-campus residential networks in higher education, in order to provide residential network service. All residence halls have fast, reliable Internet connectivity and 24/7 customer support through Apogee's service called MyResNet.
Apogee also provides UNT students, who live on campus in the residence halls, high-speed access to the university’s networked services. Access to services outside the campus network through the Internet are provided at 2 Mbps, megabits per second, download. Each student has the option to upgrade to faster speeds through the MyResNet website for an upgrade fee.
