Yeah I was thinking that I might give them the benefit of the doubt and see what happens. Then if they destroy one we replace it with a new one + an enclosure which will come out of their collective deposit. That way I don't have to find budget after the fact. :0)

After that we decided to take a chance and see what happened instead of adding the extra cost. The students see the wireless as a great service. In 4 years we have not had one vandalized. We have over 800 of them installed in our residence halls on both the walls and on the ceiling.

Our older Residence Halls do not have drop ceilings so we cannot hide the APs. We have found that most things visible get destroyed. Our standard APs have internal antennas so I'd like to find a box that is RF transparent. I found one by Oberon Model 1025 but at $240 ea I don't see us making it happen. I do have some older APs I can use that are a\b\g that have external antennas that I can use if need be. http://oberonwireless.com/outdoor_nema-access-point-enclosures.php ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
