The room in question housed some apparatus and experiments that were part of an observatory/planetarium. I never knew exactly what was in there. I assume the researchers could account for and adjust their own equipment, but they really did not want an extraneous and unregulated heat source in the immediate vicinity. The room was in the central core of a hexagonal shaped , domed building and would have been an ideal placement for an AP for that floor. No such luck. Sigh!

This sounds understandable, just out of curiosity, what will be allowed in those rooms because I cannot figure out any device is not a heat source? -----Original Message----- From: Chanowski, John <[email protected]<mailto:%22Chanowski,%20john%22%20%[email protected]%3e>> Reply-to: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wifi and spectrometers? Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:35:57 +0000 Because APs are a heat source, we have been prohibited from installing them in some rooms that are temperature sensitive and also in some rooms that are vibration sensitive. No spectrometer issues have yet arisen, though. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel Eklund Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 11:56 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wifi and spectrometers?
