RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Current state of DAS in Higher Ed?

I think the time for new indoor DAS deployments in most buildings has passed. If you’ve already invested in a head-end, it may be worthwhile to expand it. If you haven’t done it yet, now is not the time to start. Avoid anything you can possibly avoid until Wi-Fi calling and SMS makes indoor

We have a Microsoft Surface Book and use as a convertible for site surveys. So far it works well and the stylus is great for surveys. Ron Mirabile Network and Telecom Services Network Engineer – Wireless 541.346.7223 -Original Message- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] tablet for site survey work

We have a motion J3500, it's quite heavy but connect-a-desk works well and no matter how light a device is you still want something to rest on for all but the smallest surveys. We use the stylus for surveys and disable hand recognition as it seems better for accuracy and certainly easier if

Same here. I’ve played around with Ekahau. It has some nice features and a slightly different approach, but I’m so used to walking around with AirMagnet that I stayed with it. -dan — Dan Brisson Network Engineer University of Vermont On 2/17/16, 7:12 PM, "The EDUCAUSE Wireless

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Current state of DAS in Higher Ed?

Our local laws are now that public safety radios must have the same signal inside new buildings as outside, so life safety radio DAS is mandatory for our last 3 buildings, as well as anything new in the future. As far as cellular DAS, we looked into it with a few vendors and were told 7

We did an initial investigation of DAS but the costs were described to me as “sickenly”expensive so we dropped it. Don Sullivan Network Administrator 205-726-2111 From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Pete

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] tablet for site survey work

To elaborate on my surface with a mouse... I use the stylus to click for surveying and the mouse to operate the menus when saving and verifying. Does anyone with a Surface have recommendations for battery life? The yoga gives me much more time surveying before having to charge. -Original

Hiya - What is the current state of DAS in Higher Ed? Are you using DAS systems on your campus? For coverage or capacity or both? Glad you did? I'm interested to hear stories. We have a few LEEDS buildings that are quite Faraday cage-like. Wonder if we should explore DAS, wait for

I have used tough books, yoga and surface pro 3. Of all of these, the surface pro 3 was my favorite. Be sure to have a mouse because Survey Pro just feels better in my opinion with it. I'm interested to hear other opinions. -Original Message- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues
