UBC Wireless Networks:	VCHRI is pleased to announce that UBC wireless networks are now available in the Jack Bell Research Centre. The service is identical to that found in many facilities across the Point Grey and VGH campuses. Instructions on how to connect, or for any related questions, please visit the wireless Quick Start Guide on the UBC IT website. (www.it.ubc.ca/main.html) UBC wireless is not meant to replace existing services, rather we expect it will enhance current technology.

Funding for this wireless initiative was provided by the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute
and the UBC Dean's Office - Faculty of Medicine.
