FireAde 2000 is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and non-hazardous. FireAde 2000 is not powder based and doesn't and has none of the breathing and vision problems associated with dry powder extinguishers. Note: Race car drivers frequently use FireAde 2000 to spray themselves down when getting out of a burning race car. Yes - Dry Powder Chemical extinguishers have been known to cause serious respiratory problems after use. You must avoid inhaling Dry Powder Chemicals.

A wireless LAN, SeneNET, is a network that allows access to the Seneca College network and Internet without the need of any wired connections. Wireless network information is transmitted over radio frequencies to connect laptops or PDAs to an Ethernet LAN. SeneNET wireless network is based on the IEEE 802.11b standard.

To run the PAL wireless network, ITaP is installing networking equipment that is based on the IEEE 802.11b/g design standard, which provides the specifications for the devices that make up the two sides of the wireless connection: the wireless Access Points (AP’s) and the networking cards that users install in their electronic devices.

Your wireless device MAC address must be registered on the DHCP servers in order to access the wireless network.

Increased Productivity : WLAN provides "untethered", campus-wide network and Internet access. WLAN offers the freedom to roam and stay connected. Installation Flexibility : WLAN can be installed in places where wires can't, and they facilitate temporary set-up and relocation. Reduced Cost-of-Ownership : WLAN reduce installation costs because there is no cabling; as a result, savings are greatest in frequently changing environments.

In past years there has been extensive research on exposure to radio frequencies. Manufacturers of wireless LAN equipment must meet stringent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and industry regulations for safety. The output power of wireless LAN equipment is much less than that of a cellular phone. Since radio waves dissipate rapidly over distance, there is very little exposure to radio frequencies in the area covered by a wireless LAN.

There are two aspects to security. First is security of the network itself. Second, is security of the data crossing the network. In order to properly secure the network itself, KU requires all prospective Wireless Zone users to authenticate using a valid KU Online ID and Password. Therefore it can be determined if a prospective user is authorized to use University resources. (read more...)

Yes. If your computer has wireless capabilities (i.e., you have a wireless card), you can connect to the Columbia network in the SIPA building on the sixth floor. AcIS provides wireless connectivity in IAB.

Certainly! Sboca has places transmitters in locations that will maximize our coverage and minimize disruptions in our customers' service. While fluctuations in signal strength are normal, we strive to make your internet experience as worry-free as possible.

Wireless LAN or WLAN is a type of Local Area Network (LAN) that uses high frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate and transmit data among nodes. It is a flexible data communication system implemented as an extension to, or as an alternative for, a wired LAN within a building or campus. Typical bit-rates for current wireless devices are 11Mbps and 54Mbps. Wireless LANs can be formed simply by equipping PC's with wireless NICs.

Limit the number of DHCP addresses to the number of wireless access points that you will be using. Optionally, set static IP addresses, set to non-standard network blocks. Consider using VPN, SSL, Firewalls, RADIUS, Kerberos or other access control, or end-to-end encryption. Most of these can be integrated into your 802.11b appliance.

The campus wireless network can handle hundreds of users logged in at any one time, but the more active users, the slower the network becomes. On average, one access point can handle approximately 30 users without a noticeable degradation in performance.

Yes. The more active users there are on the same wireless network, the slower it will work. They share the available bandwidth, so it depends on what they are all doing. A single access point should be able to handle about 30 connected users without becoming too sluggish, unless they are all attempting some high bandwidth operation.

A pool of resources has been set aside large enough to accommodate users at the library. You will not be “blocked” from accessing the network because of too many users.

There is no present reliable evidence that mobile phones constitute a health hazard. Research is ongoing to check whether the relatively low power of the transmitted signals can affect human cells. The GSM Association in collaboration with WHO are constantly researching this issue.

Persons that have been SCUBA diving in the last 24 hours run the risk of getting "The Bends" because of the decreased air pressure and the build up of nitrogen in their bodies. We do not take children under 13 years of age because they have a much higher incidence of high altitude problems. In addition persons whom are obese (Body mass index of 36 or over) BMI calculator should not make this trip.

If your employer has provided you with a virtual private network (VPN) client and a firewall, at this time you cannot access your corporate network. We apologies for any inconvenience.

Allows completely wireless connection (both network and power) when used with laptop computers or PDAs. Users can access campus network in ordinary classrooms or common areas where computer is not available.

The actual data throughput of WLAN is far less than that of the convention wired network (100/1000 Mbps) and is on a shared base among concurrent users of an access point. Bandwidth still cannot support large class size or simultaneous connections running high bandwidth demanding applications.
