I’ve been sitting on the sidelines in this discussion but wanted to mention something we are seeing for use in chapels, theaters and auditoriums. That is the use of personal cellular devices to assist hearing impaired guests in these venues. I believe the app is Listen Everywhere that has an appliance that ties into the sound system and the network to provide the service.
Are there others using these services?

It’s going to be much easier to do it during the project than later on when someone complains. Sean Gray | B.Sc (Hons) Voice, Collaboration & Wireless Network Analyst ITS, University of Lethbridge From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Community Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>> On Behalf Of Bull, Mary Sent: October 22, 2019 10:34 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Theater wifi - to have or not to have Hello all, I’m wondering if anyone here has dealt with a decision on wireless in the theaters, concert halls, or recital halls on their campus. We have a new arts complex coming on line in the next two years and there’s no clear direction from faculty on whether wireless for the audience is desirable. The previous main theater, and other currently used theaters on campus, did/do not have full connectivity for the audience (just a few aps tacked on the walls that were useless when the room was full). Facilities planning is favorable toward building it in, so I’d prefer that too, especially since it would be much harder or impossible to install if the faculty changes their mind in a few years once the building is complete. However, I’m not sure whether there is really an expectation from the audience that they should have wifi when they attend a show or concert. Has anyone dealt with this on their campus? What influenced your choice? Mary Bull William and Mary 757-221-2491 mb...@wm.edu<mailto:mb...@wm.edu> ********** Replies to EDUCAUSE Community Group emails are sent to the entire community list.
