We provide a variety of wired, wireless and other network services for use by staff, students and institutions around the University – including the Administrative Computing Network (ACN), the University Data Network (UDN) and the Granta Backbone Network (GBN).
Getting connected
Staff and students can connect to the UDN using wired and wireless connections. For help with wired connections, please contact your local College or Department IT support staff. Details on how to connect to our wireless services are available here. You can also gain remote access to many online resources while you're away from the University.
