RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Utility Poles

FWIW, I think you make a good point. In practice, though, I’m not sure how effective it would be. Upgrades of campus lighting systems that include pathway changes are few and far between. If it takes 20 or 30 years to build out this network-friendly infrastructure, you run the risk that by

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless to Wired Bridge

I am using old Aironet 1131s for this. Convert them to autonomous and use the 5GHz radio to associate. It is 802.11a, but this is fine for most devices. If it needs higher bandwidth we urge the user to get a drop. (Our residence halls have full wired coverage, so we are not running into this issue

RE: Utility Poles

The main problem we have with doing this is getting a second power feed into the poles. All of our utilities are underground. And, all light poles are decorative black things without any visible wires (it all comes in underground). To make it worse, all lights are on a central switch which

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless to Wired Bridge

Cisco access points are capable of configuring as a Workgroup bridge. I am using a 702W AP as it has wired ports to give locations wired access when there are no wired ports available. First need to convert a capwap AP into an autonomous AP and set it up to connect as a client to another AP,

RE: Utility Poles

Yes. And, we have a mix of voltages since we have some very old lights, some relatively new ones, and then some of the newest LED lights. John Watters Network Engineer, Office of Information Technology The University of Alabama A115 Gordon Palmer Hall Box 870346 Tuscaloosa,

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Utility Poles

This problem can be addressed with a small, inexpensive transformer. It may have to go on the exterior of small poles, but you could probably find room inside a larger pole. Chuck Enfield Manager, Wireless Engineering Telecommunications & Networking Services The Pennsylvania State

RE: Utility Poles

But that is the point I’m trying to make. Because of all the challenges that you have all mentioned, wouldn’t it be worth to have both a strategic plan and a collaboration with whoever is in charge of bringing up NEW poles, and address all of these concerns and issues so that you end up with a

I am. I was thinking about sending out this very message so we can see if we could have a get together. Kinda like a netgurus session at Internet 2, but maybe just a half day. I'll respond with more details later. Hamburgers burning ;) Ryan Turner Manager of Network Operations, ITS The

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless to Wired Bridge

For a laptop or a desktop I agree. For this current application, the wired only device is a blue-ray player, so it's not going to work with a usb adaptor. On Thu, Sep 15, 2016 at 7:57 AM, Norman Mourtada wrote: > Why not use a Wi-Fi usb adapter? I just tested the EDIMAX

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless to Wired Bridge

Can it be configured as a bridge without repeating the wireless signal? I bought a VONETS VRP5G to try before recommending a solution to the student. Maybe I haven't played with it enough yet, but my issue with it is that it really seems to want to repeat the wireless signal and be a range

Educause Conference

Hey all, Who is planning on going to the annual Educause conference this year? We have been thinking of attending for awhile, but wanted to hear from other folks about the benefits they see in it. Thanks, T.J. Norton Wireless Network Architect – Team Lead Network Services – Wireless (434)

Utility Poles

Has anyone on the list floated around the idea of establishing a standard to provide fiber and adequate power to light poles in your campus? How cool would it be to have these resources available so they could be used not only to serve WiFi, but a myriad of other things like security cameras,
