Jon,
In this instance I am referring to the data side of the access point.
In your response, you mention reflective windows. I'm not clear on what you
mean by this.
Thanks,
-mike

Mike,
By wiring are you referring to electrical wiring or data cable?
Here at Baylor University we use the Enterasys access points. The
access points are powered over the data cable. This eliminates the need
for power outlets to be installed. We have also found that it pays to
do your homework before suggesting AP locations in new construction.
The materials used in the building can greatly affect the coverage an AP
will provide. For instance, windows with reflective tint or hallways
built as fire corridors will diminish the coverage an AP can provide.
Hope this helps.

Hello all,
I hope you all had a safe holiday season.
I am in search of some info regarding wireless card access.
UNH is in the process of constructing a couple of new buildings that
should
come online sometime in 03 / 04.
Have any of you been exposed to the construction process at levels that
would included access systems as well as the student data network
infrastructure.
We're looking for any information relating to wireless access systems
that
you may have come across in this process.
We've still got some time before this phase of the construction, and are
trying to find a more cost effective way of installing new access points
as
well as retro fit some of the older buildings while avoiding the cost of
installing conduit and physical wiring to these access stations.
Thanks again for your time,
-mike
