Here's some information on the tunnels (they do mention networking cables).

Isn't it neat to understand what actually makes those things work? Thanks for bringing this up, Hector!

It covers all the Disney Hotels, parks (I believe with the exception of the water parks) and the Disney Springs district. From the MAC address of a couple of WAPs, it appears they use Aruba. The coverage is impressive, and the connectivity is good; although reliability is decent, but I can forgive them knowing what a humongous task it takes to deploy such a massive network. Does anybody know any more details about how this network was deployed? I looked and looked for places where I could see WAPs but didn't see a thing. However they did it, it is impressive. Oh BTW, I did enjoy the park too. :) Hector Rios Louisiana State University ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss.
