About Wireless LAN Connection Service

Wireless LAN Connection Service lets you connect a notebook PC or other terminal to the university network (MIND) by wireless link.

By taking advantage of this connection service, you can use your own PC (one that supports wireless connection) to access a WWW server and view websites, to send and receive e-mail, to use online library services, or to make use of other basic services as well as the services provided by the university libraries and others.
