I'm looking for some information to help us baseline and level set. We
currently have two 100Mb diverse Internet connections. We have about
3500 students in our campus residence village and another 500 at remote
residences. The individual residences each have a 10Mb fiber back to
the campus but
Nick,
We have explored the possibility of not allowing some students
on the wireless network based on various criteria.
Though a lot of Controller Based Architectures (Cisco, Aruba, ...)
might let you do such a thing as
far as the capability is concerned, the main problem resides into the
I've never been asked to do anything like this, but I agree with most of
the responses that this would be impractical to on a room by room/class
by class basis, even if automated. It would probably require interfacing
with several systems which would add to the cost and
time-to-implementation.
I have to say that I disagree that this would be in any way evil, assuming we
could do it effectively.
Sure, if it was done in a manner that is partially effective, then yeah, it
would be awful.
However, if there really was a way to limit by class, who can get on the
Internet and only during
Hi All,
We are exploring a limited deployment of a free wireless services to
on-campus guests without requiring authentication or extra software.
This service would be available to the pubilc and has the following
incorporated in the design.
We have a AUP agreement with logging of time
I know the original poster asked not to mention this, but the wave of
netbooks/laptops with 3G/wifi will be upon us soon. Technology band-aid
solutions cannot win this battle, IMHO.

We are currently looking at upgrading our current Cisco 1200 autonomous
APs, with WLSE management to a new wireless N network. The new vendor
has yet to be determined. I was looking to learn from others who have
made a similar migration how the move to N changed AP deployment? Was

Bruce,
We're in the later stages of a wireless network renewal, replacing an older
a/b/g autonomous infrastructure with a controller based a/b/g/n system (Cisco
WiSMs and 1250s). We've deployed about 2350 APs so far, doing a one-to-one
replacement of the old system. It's worked well so far,
one to one replacement worked for most of our cases (going from Proxim
AP-2000 b/g to Aruba AP-125).
Weak coverage became better, and very weak coverage became weak!
We had to replace all power injectors. Our old POE (from 2001) didn't
support 802.3af.
We took advantage of the change to use
Bill,
With around 7,000 of our 16,000 or so students living in some form of
university housing we have a 450Mb line, a burstable Gb line that has been
running around 450Mb, and a 200Mb Internet 2 Link. We rate limit on the
residential side and adjust to optimize the overall user experience.
We have done a few one to one replacements from Cisco to Xirrus and have
been very pleased. Xirrus conducts wireless surveys in all of our
locations to determine what placement will be optimal. So far It seems
the locations are not far off from our current AP's so we can use the
existing jacks.
His Joseph,Regarding your Xirrus deployment, has that resulted in a better than 1:1 replacement ratio?Regards,Bruce T. Johnson | Network Engineer | Partners Healthcare617.726.9662 | Pager: 31633 | bjohns...@partners.org 149 13th Street, 10th Floor, Mailstop 10055B, Charlestown, Ma 02129
Bruce,
We recently completed a major deployment of 3,400+ Cisco 1142 AP’s in our
roughly 5 million sq ft of building space (replacing 200 old Cisco AP’s of
various flavors in the process). Our design was based on providing pervasive
high bandwidth service to a high density population, so our
Not in our current areas as we needed to move from just coverage to high
density as well.
