The campus has six wireless "zones", each fed by gigabit Ethernet, with fan-out to the APs throughout the campus buildings. These feeds, though, come into the campus core (4 gig links, more or less), and share the campus OC-12 (ATM, so about 450-500Mbps for Internet) and Ten Gig (for NLR, Internet2) WAN links. > 4. How many lines do you have (Just for wireless)? Wireless is integrated into the campus network. > 5. What type of speed do you students get(both download and upload) > just an average? Our deployment is b/g. No separation is made between fac/staff and student wireless use (though residence halls, which are wired, can use up to about half of the OC-12). Wireless users can regularly get 1-3 Mbps useful to off-campus, somewhat more for on-campus. But of course it varies a lot with cell utilization. The expectation is that wlan is always going to be very inferior to a wired connection, for obvious reasons (i.e. because it is). --ckg -- Clark Gaylord Communications Research Engineer Virginia Tech [EMAIL PROTECTED] "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
