UM Wifi Report: No 2/2009. 2000 wifi users daily

Dear students and staff,

Happy Chinese New Year to the Chinese and also to the Non-Chinese with the Chinese families and also Happy Holidays to every one of you.

UM wi-fi hotspots has increase to 749 as of today, there are only 256 more to go.

The current wi-fi usages statistics are:

• Each day these are about 2000 users logging in.
• Already 5300 different (unique) users have used this facility since Jan 12 2009.
• Everyday for 20 hours, these wifi users have generated a total of 36 Mb/s of Internet traffic. In anticipation of the impending traffic congestion, PTM in December 2008 had notified Internet Service Provider (Jaring) to increase the bandwidth capacity to 60 Mb/s. (BTW, for the cable Internet Gateway, the bandwidth is going to be increased from 155Mb/s to 200Mb/s by February 2009 and ultimately to 300Mb/s by the December 2009.)
  

I was told that when the new 1005 wifi are in operation, UM will be the university with the largest wifi facility.

Best regards.
