Abstract

Wireless technology continues to improve as technology advances throughout the world. Brigham Young University Hawaii (BYUH) is approaching the point where it will be sufficiently mature technologically to benefit from a campus-wide wireless network. In preparation of this, a survey was conducted to determine the trend of mobile computing and wireless communication among members of the BYUH community and the need for a campus-wide IEEE 802.16, "WiMax," network. In this paper, we discuss the survey results as it relates to readiness of the campus and the need for a campus-wide wireless network. In addition, security issues as they relate to IEEE 802.16 are addressed. Security is a primary concern for a campus-wide network. Finally, a campus needs assessment is presented. This needs assessment will be used to encourage BYUH as well as other universities to prepare for the next generation of wireless networks using 802.16.
