MWireless provides a secure wireless connection to the Internet. Server certificates are part of the technology used. The server certificates being used in both the authentication and encryption processes were scheduled to expire on Saturday, February 28. ITCS has installed new server certificates. The current MWireless configuration on Mac OS X wireless devices, laptops and iPhone/iPod touch must be updated.
