Where Can I Get Wireless
Access On Campus?
- We have access points in several buildings across the campus. Look at this campus map with wireless coverage for approximate coverage locations. In many cases, not all of the buildings listed will be covered in their entirety, so check your signal strength and move around to see if you can get a better signal.
To connect to the Bakersfield College Wireless Network you will need a computer or handheld device with a Wi-Fi certified IEE 802.11g or 802.11b wireless network connection.

Unlike the wired network, current wireless technology does not provide dedicated bandwidth for each computer. Wireless networks therefore do not currently provide the same level of performance or consistency as a wired network. While wireless networking has been found to be acceptable for email, many applications and some web browsing, it may not be suitable for applications and web sites that have high bandwidth requirements, such as video/audio streaming or large file transfers.
