Re: [info-tech] wireless access points

[Brad Kruse]

We are just now installing a couple of wireless carts and I am experimenting with AP's. It looks like the best solution so far for us is the 3Com 7250 (3CRWE725075A). It is giving us the best coverage and has some extra antenna options, etc.  It provides for better encryption also. It is much more expensive when compared to the WAP54G but we will not need as many, I hope.
