I. Welcome
Welcomed everyone.
II. Review of criteria and schedule for departmental
proposals
Departmental proposals are completed and submitted online; copies
will be automatically sent to the appropriate deans. The submission period
is November
7 – December
9. Proposal guidelines are documented on the Tech Fee website and
will also be included in an announcement letter that is sent to
the Deans, Directors, and
Department Heads. The awards are distributed based on the Dean’s
priority list. All deadline dates and award announcements are provided
on the website
as well. III. Campus wireless network
Philippe Hanset, Network Services, provided
a very informative presentation on the wireless network. Currently the UTK
campus
has 1300 wireless
access points
covering most of the campus, 16,000 registered users, and more
than 2000 users joining daily. The initial pilot had 200 registered
users,
covering
8 small
areas on campus. Three programs immediately adopted the technology:Art
and Architecture, the College of Business and Computer Science. As the demand
for wireless has skyrocketed in specific
areas,
the network has to
be redesigned
to support more users locally such as in classrooms, etc.
With no further business, the meeting was adjourned. The next meeting of the
Technology Advisory Board will be Wednesday, November 16, 2005, at 2:30 PM,
in the 4th Floor Conference Room, Andy Holt Tower.
