Dan,
At NC State the decision has been made to use 802.11G for pervasive
coverage. We will be using 802.11A for instructional use. "G" will be
available in the classroom but bandwidth/capacity will not be guaranteed.
The decision was made by a committee of staff from the ITD department
along with college and departmental representatives.
1) 802.11a usage is primarily in the College of Engineering classrooms
and is spreading as designs are completed.
2) The access points we are purchasing now come with both A and G.
Currently A exists only in classrooms and some private networks.
3) No

CU-Boulder is significantly expanding wireless in student and academic
areas. The question has been raised about support of 802.11a. Even
though our new access points support 802.11a it may not necessary make
sense to deploy the technology.
For those who have adopted 802.11a could you answer the following
questions:
1) How much usage of 802.11a do you have vs 802.11b/g?
2) Do you have coverage of 802.11a in all locations where you also have
802.11a or is it provided for specific applications?
3) Has 802.11a generated additional support calls?
