Wireless Network
RCCD has an enterprise wireless network to serve instructional and operational needs of our district. The technical foundation of the design allows for ongoing expansion of coverage and speeds, while being mindful of cybersecurity risks.
This page details the different wireless networks and their use cases.
Wireless Network: rccd
The rccd wireless network allows students and employees to use their personal device(s). Each user account is granted up to 5 device connections. When the 6th device is connected, the 1st device will be disconnected.
