Daily, over 40,000 devices connect to Wi-Fi at UC Davis. Updating the wireless infrastructure is a multi-year initiative, comparable in complexity and duration to major campus construction initiatives.

Our current focus is to replace aging equipment in buildings where many members of the campus community and their devices connect to Wi-Fi.

More buildings are added to the Campus Wi-Ri Refresh roadmap each quarter. Check back for updates.
