Hi William, Thank you very much for this. The report is very fascinating to look through.
I would also love to see this kind of information from any other places that have it. I wish I had the time to do that kind of analysis of our network.

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. -- William C.
