Editor's Corner

The best lessons in technology typically come from real-life experiences, and that's exactly what this interesting case study from NetworkWorld about Indiana University's wireless deployment effort provides. As the school's tech leader details in a great interview, embarking on a wireless project requires a lot of upfront work, site review and inspection and ensuring that your network will take into account all the various user groups who'll be needing service. While security was the big nut to tackle, Mark Bruhn also notes that making strong policy about individual wireless connectivity is also a key element to good wireless networking. If you get time this week, read the interview; it offers some unique insight into how actual deployments go and the lessons learned from them. - Judy
