GW Broadband Ubiquitous Secure Service Network (GBUSSnet) is GW's wireless ethernet solution. GWireless uses a special client, i.e. GWireless and network technology, to provide secure and stable wireless network access for the GW community. The GWireless Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a way to securely connect to GW's network over the internet. GW's VPN clients give you access to computing resources typically limited to on campus use.
