El Camino could have a fix to the shoddy internet soon and not just that, but wide-area Wi-Fi may soon take place on campus, vice president of Academic Technology, Pete Marcoux, said.

Marcoux briefly talked about the announcement at the Academic Senate meeting on Tuesday, including the proposal to have Wi-Fi all over campus.

“Our Chief Technology Officer of the district mentioned that they are in the process of sending out a request of proposal for campus wide Wi-Fi,” Marcoux said. “It’s going (to) blanket the entire campus, so not only classrooms (and) hallways, but also parking lots and open spaces.”

Marcoux asked when EC could have campus wide Wi-Fi and his response was that it could take until the end of the year.

“I think it’s a perfect idea to have Wi-Fi all over campus,” Edwin Hernandez, criminal justice, 18, said. “The real question is though, will the Wi-Fi be just as slow as what we have now or will it be better because if not then it’s worth whatever is being invested to make it happen.”

The next Academic Senate Meeting is March 22 in the Alondra Room at 12:30 p.m.
