Technical information about Wi-Fi at Bristol

Access points

Several models of wireless access point are deployed around the campus. The datasheets for each type are available: 1142N, 1042N, 1131AG, 1242AG, 1200AG.

Wireless controllers

Each access point does not operate as a wholly autonomous device. The wireless controllers are devices which help manage radio spectrum usage, network traffic, authentication and monitoring. Click for their datasheet.

Wireless usage dataset

We are compiling a one year+ wireless usage data set starting June 2011. For more details go to the dataset webpage.
