Does the campus provide wireless network coverage? If so, how much of the campus has wireless connectivity?

Wireless connectivity is available throughout the entire SSU campus approximately 200 acres. There is wireless inside all buildings and also outside in all common areas.

Why isn't the wireless network as fast as the wired network?

The SSU wireless network supports 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g, standards with the maximum bandwidth shared among the wireless users connected to each access point. The 802.11ab standard has a maximum bandwidth of 11 million bits per second (Mbps), the 802.11g standard has a maximum bandwidth of 54 Mbps. The wired network provides ports with a dedicated bandwidth of 100 Mbps per connected user. As more wireless devices utilize the wireless network more heavily, performance degrades even further.
