About LAWN - Introduction

The Georgia Tech LAWN (Local Area Walkup & Wireless Network) is designed for students, faculty, staff, and institute guests who are mobile computer users. Mobile users may have wireless-enabled laptop computers, PDAs, or similar devices. The LAWN gives mobile users access to many of the same computing resources available to them from a campus office or student residence hall. Most buildings on campus are wireless (Wi-Fi) hot spots. Some campus locations, the library for example, also provide wired (10/100 ethernet) LAWN ports. A growing number of buildings provide commercial wireless network access (FASTPASS) for campus visitors in addition to LAWN.
