E-Station

Description

Need to provide access to the internet for your business center? Want to offer a simple, maintenance free off-campus e-mail access and web browsing solution for visitors to your department? Have a student lounge and want to set up a internet kiosk but don’t want your department inundated with worms and viruses?
