For those interested in wireless usage at other campuses-- we just
completed our Spring 2008 study:

(temporary)
http://www.utexas.edu/its/network/reports.php (permanent and
previous reports)
Summary: There were 8 million connect hours in Spring 2008 (64%
increase from '07). The trend is toward more frequent sessions and
longer sessions (30% increase in an average user's connections, 26%
increase in mean connection time). 16K unique users during a day,
with 8K peak simultaneous users (not in report). Number of unique
users decreased 2.2% (possibly due to a reporting issue -- 4% of data
didn't make it to the analysis).
As always, I'd like to hear about other institution's wireless usage.
Especially if anyone has reports on how/why people are using
wireless. It will be interesting to see what devices like the
iPhone will do to operations...
Sorry, the heat map is a custom app and not available.
