Changes to AirYork wireless Network
Access for Laptops on Campus
What is AirYork?
The AirYork service
provides wireless network access on campus, allowing York
students, faculty and staff to use their laptops at a
number of designated locations across campus (see below).
For complete information on using AirYork, including
hardware and software you'll need, go to the CNS website:

AirYork Service Changes
In August 2003, CNS launched AirYork
v2.0. This new version of AirYork is designed to make
the wireless network service easier to use. Version 2.0 will
not require the use of VPN software to access the wireless
network. Instead, people will use a web-based system to authenticate
themselves and gain access to the network.
Note that while these changes to the wireless
service will make it easier to use, you will need to use encrypted
email to continue to protect the security of any information
you transmit such as passwords or email messages.
See the AirYork
web page for more details on the service changes.
