Sessler Sent: Thursday, 6 October 2016 6:10 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless "advertising" I tend to highlight accessibility i.e. dense coverage ensuring seamless access even in even the most unconventional of spaces. If it’s in a building with classrooms, emphasize improved support for the academic mission and including access to emerging and innovative technologies. In 2003 when we deployed gigabit in our residential halls, we used the marketing term “Gigabit to the Pillow” to underscore the performance and accessibility of the wired network. With our recent deployment of 11ac wave 2 and multi-gig switches in our new residential hall, we’re starting to use the term again, but for our wireless.

We have a new building with all new wireless (not really any different to most of our network) and of course as part of the go live they want a shiney line or 2 about the wireless network. And asked me, “is I the fastest wireless we have”…… I’ve always tried to avoid words like “fastest” since user experience can vary and high density for example is often designed to allow high number of users access and not necessarily bandwidth. I typically aim to talk about consistency of experience etc.. However they prefer words like bigger, faster, better. -- Jason Cook Technology Services The University of Adelaide, AUSTRALIA 5005 Ph : +61 8 8313 4800 e-mail: jason.c...@adelaide.edu.au<mailto:jason.c...@adelaide.edu.au<mailto:jason.c...@adelaide.edu.au%3cmailto:jason.c...@adelaide.edu.au>> CRICOS Provider Number 00123M ----------------------------------------------------------- This email message is intended only for the addressee(s) and contains information which may be confidential and/or copyright.
