We have 3 of them installed in our Science building.  They are about the
size of a door bell cover.  I wish they would put a different radio in
them so that they would do a and b/g at the same time.  We mounted ours
to the recessed 2x4 box.  We didn't pass any ports through as they are
about 12 ft in the air.  

They are a fixed ap, so once in place they can't be moved.  We also have
some of the new AP 65's that are about the size of a 2 gang box.  They
do a/b/g at the same time.  You do have to order the special mounting
bracket for them.  They do not have any pass thru capability.   The AP
70 is bigger, but does have a pass thru ethernet port.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] wireless wall-jacks an option for res halls?

Hi all,

We are constructing new dormitories on our Amherst campus and are
considering adding blanket wireless coverage in addition to the
ethernet-port-per-pillow wired infrastructure.

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the Otronics (Aruba
back end) Wi-Jack wireless wall jacks, or if there are any other
AP-in-a-jack solution.

(Please, no vendor or sales calls)

Thanks,
  Mike
