We are also using the Panduit plug lock where our arrays are accessible. It's not going to stop someone from snipping lines, but at least they have to work for the vandalism. On a side note, we're also using those locks in our closets on patch panels where we want to make sure the tech think

You may want to look at CradlePoint mobile routers. I have personally used the CTR500 with a Verizon USB760 to provide wireless in/around my car for some time, which has worked excellent. The CradlePoint devices can even be configured to failover from one cellular connection to another (even on

For mild cases of tampering by unplugging cables on access points we have utilized this product with success: http://cableorganizer.com/panduit/rj45-plug-lock-in-device/ It might save having to move the access points if you want to maintain a particular coverage pattern from an access point i

You might want to look at Cradlepoint - http://www.cradlepoint.com/. Never used one on a bus be we use them in a few remote classrooms where we cannot setup anything long term. Gives you the option to have more than 5 users and multiple vendors by just swapping out the USB modem. Tim Wier N

Not that I have used it in a vehicle but you may want to look at D-Link's DIR-450 or similar. The 450 takes a 3g pc card and is a NAT router with wifi and 4 ethernet ports. David Bulanda Network Services Manager Indiana Tech www.indianatech.edu -Original Message- From: The EDUCAUSE Wir

Providing wireless on a tour bus

2010-12-14 Thread Nathan Hay
Has anyone installed a wireless system on a tour bus that is traveling cross country? Our athletics department would like to outfit their bus for long trips to games. My first thought was to get enough mobile hotspots (perhaps from various vendors) to cover the number of users at 5 users each
