    手机服务: Residents with plans from either AT&T or Verizon report that they have the fewest occurrences of a weak signal throughout the Campus View facilities. All other carriers exhibit more problems with call and data connectivity within their respective cellular networks.

    设备类型: The wireless network in each of the three Campus View facilities will be upgraded by August 2015. Newer wireless network systems operate on a 5Ghz frequency. This new technology offers faster downloads and is less congested than the older 2.4Ghz technology which can be affected by microwave ovens. If you plan to bring a device (notebook, TV, tablet, gaming console, 等.) to use throughout a Campus View facility, you are encouraged to use a 5Ghz compatible unit.

    网络访问: Only wireless service is available. There are no wired “jacks” for the network in any suite. If you have a desktop computer and wish to use the network you will need to have the hardware necessary to connect it to a wireless network. Current residents will be given a unique pre-shared-key (PSK) that can be used to connect up to four personal devices simultaneously to the internet.

    手机: There are no phones within the suites.

    计算机实验室: 校园景观1 and 2 have a small computer lab located on the 3rd floor.

    印刷: Printing is available for all 杰克逊的大学 students. William Atkinson Hall offers limited black/white printing. Color printing is available to students actively enrolled in courses requiring it as determined by the Deans.

    Television Channels (digital): 校园景观1, 2, and 3 residents have the ability to stream nearly 60 channels to their devices (media players, 智能电视, 平板电脑, 电脑, 等.)到斐洛. This service contains both standard definition and high definition channels and includes DVR functionality. Additionally residents have access to HBO Go and Max Go.

    电视: Several large flat screen televisions are located in public areas of each facility.

    流媒体: Bandwidth has been increased and there are plans for incremental increases if the demand arises. There is a limit to the amount of bandwidth that can be made available while keeping housing costs affordable. Our upload speeds are just as fast as download speeds which is far superior to a conventional home network. Upload performance is helpful if you wish to stream your gaming experience. Given the nature of our academic environment the bandwidth for academic operations receives the highest priority.

    媒体播放器: While 杰克逊的大学 不能 provide or support media streaming appliances due to the terms of their contracts (e.g. Roku, 苹果电视, 亚马逊火, Google Chromecast) our wireless network is currently compatible with many of them. We 不能 guarantee future compatibility as new products are brought to market and upgrades are written/downloaded directly to your devices. Subscriptions to Hulu Plus, Netflix, 等. are the responsibility of each resident.

    数字标牌: Modern electronic signage systems are present in each Campus View facility and provide insight to upcoming campus events and important information.
