need to be segmented using a router. Preliminary user broadcasts will need to occur, in order to
understand whether or not this may be necessary.
This network may also greatly benefit from a proxy server, which can also be provided by <Supplier>.
Since the users will likely be using the network to visit similar locations during a conference, at the same
time, this proxy server will serve up (present in a more timely manner), those cached pages and greatly
enhance the users experience using the Internet.”

Cisco also offers a device called the Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE) that will manage many access
points at the same time. Information on it can be found at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/sw/cscowork/ps3915/ps5297/index.html.
Another suggestion is for the customer to implement a Bluesocket wireless gateway. This network device
can authenticate authorized users and allow them secure access to the internal network while allowing
unauthorized users access only to a walled garden or the Internet. Information can be found at
http://www.bluesocket.com. A redundant pair of WG-2100s with 1000Base-T interfaces should serve the
<location> adequately.
Miscellaneous fasteners may be necessary for mounting the access points. Cisco does include many
different fasteners with the access point. If the power injector above is used, additional Category 5e
jumpers will be needed to connect the access point to the switch. This and other options are shown here:
