Over the coming weeks, delays in internet traffic for up to five minutes may occur, resulting in slower loading times for external websites and streaming services during the maintenance windows listed below. Additionally, wireless coverage may be briefly degraded during the July 11 maintenance window as services are upgraded.
Network upgrades will occur during the following dates and times:
• Friday, July 11, from 9 p.m. until Saturday, July 12, at 1 a.m.
Potential delays in internet traffic for up to five minutes and degraded wireless coverage.
• Saturday, July 19, from 9 p.m. until Sunday, July 20, at 1 a.m.
Potential delays in internet traffic for up to five minutes.
The maintenance periods were scheduled by Pitt IT in consultation with our partners in UPMC. The upgrades focus on improving the security, performance, and reliability of the wireless network, as well as the network that provides connectivity to the internet and resources outside of PittNet. Individuals do not need to take any action after the upgrades are completed.
Pitt IT has completed checks to ensure that systems are ready for the upgrades and will be actively engaged with the vendor throughout the maintenance periods. In the unlikely event that an issue or problem arises, the vendor will revert to its original network configuration and Pitt IT will post an update to status.pitt.edu.
Please submit a ticket to the Technology Help Desk or call +1-412-624-HELP (4357) if you experience any issues or have questions related to this maintenance. This effort is being led by Dan Mahaven, Pitt IT Operations.
