Session Description

Technology Track, Session III
Session topic: Wireless Networking
Session presenters: Bill Sanders, Virginia Tech University
Format: Facilitated discussion
Description:
Everyone seems to be looking at wireless networking from massive projects like the University of Tennessee to small pilot projects at many schools. Beyond the hype, how does it work? Is it fast enough? Is it secure enough? Is it a valuable extension of a wired campus, will it be a replacement for wiring, or will it be a passing fad? If students are not required to have laptops, is it needed? How do PDAs fit in with wireless? What are the support issues?
