REVISITED Can we revisit this subject? It seems to have gotten a good number of responses but the information is of limited use without other information to go with it. If folks will send me information on their wireless networks I will tabulate it and send it back out to the list. How about the following info: School name Total number of clients served (faculty + staff + students + guess at guests) during a typical school day Brand(s) of APs in use and approximate number of APs for each brand Whether the APs are standalone or controller based Wireless management platform (e.g., Cisco Prime, HP Aruba Airwave, none, etc.) For the University of Alabama I would answer as follows: The University of Alabama 45,000 clients Cisco 5,000 APs Controller based HP Aruba Airwave management If others want to suggest additional questions, that is fine as long as we can get them soon enough so that most people who respond will have answers to all of the questions. Why don't we collect questions until next WED and try to get the poll sent out next THU? -jcw [UA Logo] John Watters The University of Alabama Office of Information Technology 205-348-3992 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.educause.edu_groups_&d=CwMFAg&c=7MSSWy9Bs2yocjNQzurxOQ&r=AuveJXIorHW4s-aGSHEbnQZt5LubWGCZik-5HxxaRqU&m=91mDMqgERa4jOr_3Ff5snj4rga40s-uc1xJI_BysaOw&s=FDqwkQ_ypfMPK-949TqeAN4MTV9U7sub6IC5MmHtjtA&e=>. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
