Potential Jan. 20 Wireless Network Outages

Over the last year, legacy wireless (Wi-Fi) networks have been transitioned to new Wi-Fi networks. The wireless networks listed below may experience network outages on Thursday, January 20, 2022:

  • prov.infusion
  • prov.medical
  • prov.medicalp
  • phsmeddev
  • phsmedical

To avoid potential outages, access to legacy Wi-Fi networks is being redirected by the network team to the appropriate new Wi-Fi networks. However, outages may still occur and can be avoided by connecting to the new Wi-Fi networks before January 20.

What do I need to do?
Before January 20, 2022, to ensure continued functionality and avoid potential disconnection from legacy Wi-Fi networks:

  • All wireless devices assigned to caregivers and/or personal devices must connect to “ProvidenceCaregiver.”
  • All other devices (i.e., biomed, facilities, etc.) must connect to “ProvidenceMedical.”

Where can I go for more information?

Who do I contact on January 20, 2022, for Wi-Fi outages?
