They've had access points in the building for number of years now,
however you need a fairly good antenna to use the signal from Hall C.
mini-PCI cards with the antenna sandwiched between the bottom of the
laptop and the surface the laptop is resting on typically won't cut
it, while laptops with a dipole antenna embedded in the sides of the
LCD display should have a fighting chance.
