Josh joined our team in February, 2022 as a Network Services Engineer focused on wireless services. Join us in wishing Josh well as he moves to a new opportunity deploying the latest wired and wireless network technologies. His last day is Friday, September 22.
During his time here, Josh worked on a number of important initiatives:
- Ensuring UWW has good wireless coverage for new wireless Narcan boxes installed around campus. This involved doing wireless surveys, remediating coverage gaps by either making some modifications to RF profiles or adding additional AP coverage, then retesting all areas again. These new boxes help to increase campus safety by having resources closer to where they may be needed most.
- Upgrading 226 Access Points (APs) on the academic side of campus and 468 APs in housing. These new APs allowed UWW to update to a newer version of code on our wireless controllers so we can start deploying WiFi 6E utilizing the new 6GHz spectrum in the near future!
- Working with Cisco and their ISE Developer team during the last two summers on beta versions of code to help identify any issues or features we thought would be beneficial, work through those issues and get us onto the new final release of code before the school year begins. While a stressful and sometimes frustrating endeavor, this work allowed us guide future features that others will hopefully find valuable.
Thank you, Josh, your experience and expertise has made UWW’s wireless network stronger and better!
