John, I see that an article was posted on tech.msu.edu just today: http://tech.msu.edu/news/2012/01/msu-wireless-ssids-shortened-to-better-accommodate-mobile-devices/ My understanding is that you should see both the old and new SSIDs everywhere, so yes, you can start configuring devices for the new SSIDs.

We have many mobile devices used by our personnel, whom travel all over campus, that must be preconfigured to connect to the MSU wireless network without user intervention. If we start configuring these devices to connect to "MSUnet 2.0" will they be able to connect to that SSID successfully everywhere they can currently connect to "MSUnet Wireless 2.0"? > > Regards, > > John Fishbeck > Physical Plant Computer Systems & Networking Group > > -----Original Message----- > From: Lisa Besko [mailto:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2012 11:42 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] MSUnet Wireless 2.0 vs. MSUnet 2.0? > > We are in the process of phasing out the word "Wireless" in our SSID names.
