Pensacola Junior College now offers students, faculty and staff Internet and Intranet wireless communications.

With partners Wave Net of Pensacola and Cisco Systems Inc., PJC has installed a state-of-the-art wireless system across the Pensacola, Warrington and Milton campuses, and the Downtown Center.

Currently, PJC has the largest Cisco wireless system in Northwest Florida and is poised to provide the wireless mesh for a whole host of applications. 

“We envision using this system in a variety of ways, from supporting the training of nursing students at the Warrington campus to using wireless PDAs that can do remote soil monitoring for the horticulture program at the Milton campus,” says William Meloy, director of Computer Services and Telecommunications Systems at PJC.

“The wireless network also will be available for special events on PJC campuses and many other wireless capabilities.”
