This is a reminder that all new wireless LAN equipment must be specifically approved by Exchange technology staff prior to being used on the trading floors.  This includes PDA devices or routers with Bluetooth capability.  The Exchange offers connections to a Common Wireless Infrastructure (known as CWI).  Individuals interested in wireless computer connectivity can obtain an application for the CWI Network from the customer service desks located on 3S or 7S adjacent to either trading floor.

Please be advised that use of any unauthorized wireless communication equipment on the trading floor is strictly prohibited.  Violation of this policy will be considered to be contrary to CME Rules 432.q. - ("Major Offenses - to commit an act which is substantially detrimental to the interest or welfare of the Exchange") and/or Rule 433.b. - ("Minor Offenses - to be guilty of uncommercial conduct").   Unauthorized wireless equipment will be immediately disconnected and removed from the trading floor, and the users subject to disciplinary action.
