Connecting to NMU LTE on NMU ThinkPads

Is NMU LTE available in your area?

NMU LTE is available everywhere NMU EAN is available. Go to the Check Availabilty page and click the "Check Availability" button. Enter your complete address with Street Address, City, State, and Zip code to see if NMU LTE is available in your location.

If you were issued an NMU ThinkPad, the NMU LTE Chip is not installed by default. You can get the NMU LTE Chip installed for no charge. To start this process, stop by TSS in room 116 Harden Hall (currently across from Fiera's and next to the Commuter's Lounge) and ask our staff to get an LTE Chip installed. Please note: we will need to have your device checked in for "repairs", and may not be able to return it until the end of our current device turn over time. Ask TSS staff to receive the current turn over time, as it varies at different parts in the semester.

**NOTE: LTE Chips are ONLY for NMU ThinkPad Users.
