I know every building/situation is different but just curious what your ballpark power levels are on per room wap’s ?

I would say wired usage is the same as before or a bit less. The only students that used wired were students that brought an extra desktop computer (we have a 1 to 1 laptop program), maybe a gaming station or the WIFI was crap in their room so they needed to plug in. With WIFI in every room now the RF is not an issue so the last mentioned reason is off the table. Most rooms have a port per pillow with a drop on each side of the room. I see that changing on the next dorm renovation. I bet we just drop in 1 port for the IN-WALL WIFI and forgo the second wired port. When you think about it for the students it is their home experience that drives us to make WIFI better. I don't think many think of a wired port as a go to. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss.
