Independent University, Bangladesh has launched a new high-speed Wi-Fi infrastructure, transitioning from Wi-Fi 5.0 to the state-of-the-art Wi-Fi 7.0, to support faster, low-latency, secure and more reliable internet access across its campus.
The upgraded system was officially launched at a programme held on Sunday at the DMK Lecture Gallery in the presence of several members of the board of trustees and senior management, said a press release.
The event also coincided with the 100th meeting of the IUB board of trustees.
The new system includes a significantly larger number of state-of-the-art access points and backbone connection, allowing more than 25,000 devices to connect simultaneously – a substantial upgrade from the previous infrastructure, which could support only a few hundred.
IUB vice-chancellor Professor M Tamim, associate professor of computer science and engineering and director of automation Mahady Hasan, chairman of the board of trustees Didar A Husain and BOT member Towhid Samad spoke at the event.
Trustees Rashed Chowdhury, Altamash Kabir, Ashrafuddin Ahmed and Hosne Ara Ali, pro-vice-chancellor Professor Daniel W Lund and treasurer Khandker Md Iftekhar Haider were present, along with faculty members, students and staff.
