The Apple Falls Far From the GW Network

iPad creates issues for George Washington University network

If you’re reading this article on your brand new iPad, there’s a good chance you’re not on the George Washington University campus. Or at least you aren’t using the school’s network.

GW said its network is having problems with Apple’s hottest new product.

“Our current authentication system isn’t supported by the iPhone or the iPad,” Chief Technology Officer Guy Jones told TechNewsDaily. That means you can’t log on to the network with the popular devices.

As if that weren’t bad enough, there is also news that a solution to the problem may be months away. In fact, the iPad may not work on the George Washington network for a year or longer.

GW isn’t the only college having iPad issues. Princeton and other universities are also struggling to handle the computer on their networks.
