We are still providing 1 port per pillow in the residence halls. In addition in new construction and renovations over the last 4 or 5 years we have been using CAT 6A wiring and Aruba AP-305's and occasionally AP-304's. As expected an AP every 2 or 3 rooms depending on the construction. The buildings that come up to the new seismic code are like big faraday cages with all the steel and concrete.
I was surprised last fall with the number of students who wanted to plug the TV's straight into the wall instead of fooling with getting it on the wireless.

Pod-style concept is new to us and I wanted some feedback from anyone who currently has these living spaces. I will be leading the Network and Wireless planning for the residence halls. Below are couple of my questions: 1. In Pod-style rooms - are you providing hard-wired data? 2. Wireless planning - any issues and/or challenges in wireless coverage? We currently use Aruba. Are you using "H" style hospitality WAPs? If you have any additional feedback and/or are willing to share the good, bad...... etc - please send me an email.
