Trent,
Handera?
You mean the old PalmOS based devices? I thought they were discontinued years
ago.
Is someone else making products with that brand?

Well, it's that time of year again
the time when we get calls from a handful of faculty who want the ability to
disable the wireless access point that covers their classroom during specific
class periods (they also want cellular coverage disabled during those times --
yeah, right ..).
Not being asked … so hoping to avoid the question … I tend to think faculty
(some) are becoming more tolerant since they are bringing iPads to the
classroom to teach from, so shutting it off affects them now.

Hi Jim,
I also get this question/request a couple times a year. I flat-out refuse to do
it. There are so many issues (coverage of other spaces, the students have
cellular connectivity too, managing the changes, etc.) but those play a very
small part in us not doing it.
We simply don't do it

the un-wireless-...@educause.edumailto:un-wireless-...@educause.edu ;-)
Seriously, we have seen teachers requesting devices to be turned off during
class, or else...
Also, the curriculums are requesting increasingly
We see this as a security issue. That is, if we disable 802.11x in the
classroom (and most classrooms have no cell coverage), and we need to alert
the campus (via SMS or e-mail), then

We've had it asked several times here (including for cellular).
Each time we point out that it's an academic/classroom management issue,
and that there's no simple technology solution available at the moment
to solve it. On each occasion we've managed to convince management that
we can't do
We've also been asked in a specific auditorium to cut off wireless.
Professors have been told that it won't work; we've told them that
cutting cell phone communications with a jammer is "illegal". The
students are bringing in the 4G MiFi devices or are activating

Last year we tackled this problem by working with the Deans and
administration of the University. Ultimately, it was decided that
wireless access will remain on and available at all times as the
management overhead would be horrendous to activate/deactivate AP's,
there was no guarantee of bleed
Same here, we've been asked over the years, no for all the same reasons.
I did see one wireless product, forgot who (maybe meru?) that claimed with
enough AP's you could tell if the user is in the room or not, and if so, kill
their access.
Neat idea, not sure if anyone does it, still a

In the past two years a country music fest has taken place at our
stadium. We decided to create a special SSID for Ticket Master. Their
only encryption requirement was WPA-TKIP. A peculiarity of their system
was that they required bootp for the IP assignment of the handheld
devices. This
