As the others already stated, Meru is doing geo-fencing.  Motorola
(previously Symbol) may also be on the road to do something similar.

 

Kind regards,

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wifi Location based Access Control

 

We at UC Hastings are looking for a solution to create physicall boundries
inside our wifi network.

We would like to shut out the Students from using our wifi network in our
classrooms but not in study areas.

Our buildings are located in downtown SF and have study areas located next
to classrooms

NewBerryNetworks has a product that does wifi location based Access Control.

If a client is found to be located in an area that we don't want the client
to have access to the wifi network the client is blocked at the proxy or

Authentication firewall. 

Does anybody know of any solutions besides NewberryNetworks for locking
students out of classrooms that doesn't involve scheduling?

We have already looked at a scheduling solutions to deny access.
