Network & Wireless Systems Support is responsible for administration and maintenance of the Norfolk State University’s operational network and wireless systems infrastructure.  These systems include all copper and fiber optic data wiring and the routers, switches and wireless access points that allow NSU’s computer systems to communicate both internally and to the Internet.

NSU deploys a heterogeneous wireless infrastructure consisting of 120+ CISCO wireless access points and 5 Vivato outdoor panels which together cover most student residential and administrative buildings as well as the majority of the surrounding green space. Wireless access is restricted to NSU affiliates and it is protected though the use of encryption and authentication.
