Guests and visitors would be considered as a third category of users that would access the general use wireless LANs but could have specific restrictions placed upon their network access. Other categories of access can be defined and accommodated including classroom access and emergency operations.

In order to provide the required security and flexible authentication services, network components must be capable of supporting encryption, 802.1x authentication and multiple VLANs. The current “wired” data network has the bandwidth capacity to support the widespread deployment of wireless access points throughout the campus and has the features required to the deliver multiple VLANs to wireless network components but does not have the capability to provide encryption services. Leveraging the current capabilities of the wired network while providing the required wireless services is best accomplished through the use of wireless access points that provide encryption. The use of “smart” wireless access points for managed wireless services provides the range of flexibility needed to support general access and department specific access needs.

Managed wireless access points will meet IET specifications and will be capable of supporting multiple VLANs, 802.1x authentication and rotating WEP encryption keys. One
