I’ve been trying to get Banksy to stencil ours, but he doesn’t return my calls anymore.

May be how they did the Cisco that Alan posted.

You pay more, but don't we all pay extra to mitigate aesthetics concerns? :) -Sam On Wed, Sep 7, 2016 at 10:59 AM, Bob Brown <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: I feel like I’ve seen a collection of clever/crazy camouflages on Reddit or a site like that, but not able to put my finger on it right now Bob Brown Online Executive Editor, News T: 508.766.5418 <tel:508.766.5418> <http://www.linkedin.com/in/bobbrownboston> LinkedIn | Twitter: <https://twitter.com/alphadoggs> @alphadoggs | <https://www.facebook.com/NetworkWorld> Facebook profile | <http://instagram.com/nwwinstagram> Instagram NETWORK WORLD 492 Old Connecticut Path | PO Box 9002 | Framingham, MA 01701-9002 <http://www.networkworld.com> NetworkWorld.com | <http://idgenterprise.com/> idgenterprise.com media kit | <http://events.networkworld.com> Conferences & Events From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > on behalf of Brian Williams <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Reply-To: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Date: Wednesday, September 7, 2016 at 11:58 AM To: "[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> " <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Camouflaging AP's We ran into the same issue when our new law school building was built. They paid a lot of money for ornate ceilings in the moot courtrooms and thought the exposed access points were an eye sore. Aruba sells covers for the AP200 series that are designed to be painted (obviously you should avoid lead based or metallic based paints). We only had to use them in a few areas but it made the customer happy. http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Wireless-Access/AP-215-CVR-20-picture/td-p/222463 Brian D Williams Georgia State University | II&T - Network Engineering | [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> | innovation.gsu.edu <http://innovation.gsu.edu> _____ From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > on behalf of Brian Helman <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, September 7, 2016 11:47 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Camouflaging AP's Aside from enclosures, how are people hiding their AP’s in areas where aesthetics are very important? As we bring up new buildings or renovate old ones, the typical response from architects to hanging an AP in plain sight is .. you want hang that where!? My current situation is a renovated theatre. The ceilings will be greyed out, so placing a glossy white Aruba AP on there could be an issue. The ceiling is high (accessible via catwalk), so I’m not ruling out something as low-rent as black gaffer’s tape, or possibly grey contact paper, but I thought I’d throw the question out to the group as I may have units on side-walls that I’ll need to somehow mask. BTW, loving the tongue-and-cheek answers to recent posts. It would appear we are all a bit punchy at the start of the new academic year! -Brian ____________________________________ Brian Helman, M.Ed | Director, ITS/Networking Services | *: 978.542.7272 <tel:978.542.7272> Salem State University, 352 Lafayette St., Salem Massachusetts 01970 GPS: 42.502129, -70.894779 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.educause.edu%2fgroups%2f&data=01%7c01%7cbwilliams%40GSU.EDU%7c8d94739df1564565d02708d3d736d026%7c515ad73d8d5e4169895c9789dc742a70%7c0&sdata=CbA8Q1Ms7P6EnfhNrlYN0BLxzgByCqsr3hMGMlTnwLk%3d> http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
