Implementing a Secure 802.11b Campus LAN

In 2002, Bethune-Cookman College (BCC), a small, historically black college, decided to overlay its existing wired network with wireless. BCC determined it was both unwise and too costly to convert completely to wireless. Logistical complications in some locations, however, made wireless installation the solution of choice. Network security was paramount, and the decision was made to limit wireless access to members of the campus community (students, faculty, and staff) without creating excessive maintenance requirements.
