Laptops 
Loyola has recently begun to replace outdated desktop computers with a laptop for faculty and staff during the standard replacement cycle. Laptops are configured so that after logging in once to Active Directory on-campus, they can be used off-campus with the same login. Laptops can be used at any wired connection on campus, as well as access the web from any wireless hotspot. 

Wi-fi network 
HoundNet is the name of the on-campus wireless connection offering access to the Loyola data network and Internet.
