....I understand that Meru does something called geo-fencing where by they can isolate rooms (using imported CAD floor plans) and use AP based triangulation to restrict users from associating in identified areas. I'd love to see it work.....has anyone played with this?

For one thing, it's unlikely that an AP serves only a single classroom and no adjacent areas. Secondly, we can't control the cellular signal, so really there's not much benefit from a cheating standpoint.
