Cellular users with T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon are experiencing intermittent service outages on campus. This is due to the need to upgrade infrastructure and exacerbated by student orientation, when demand is localized on the structure cell site. We are waiting for a carrier upgrade.

T-Mobile users can minimize the impact by joining Lobo Wifi on their devices.
