HKU Access Everywhere Network (ACEnet) for Notebook Computer Users

Since the summer of 1998, in addition to over 10000 network connection points installed in offices and residential halls, 4000 network connection points have been installed in many parts of the University's campuses to build an Access Everywhere Network (ACEnet) environment for students' roaming network access within the University campus.

The locations of the ACEnet connection points are distributed evenly throughout the campus.
