Jacob...
Do you offer unauthenticated wireless for conference facilities?
Yes. We offer campus-wide 'guest' wireless. It has a 12 hour timeout, and each time a person connects they have to agree to our AUP.
Is that wireless encrypted?
No. We wanted to guest network to be as trouble-free as possible for the end users, so we went with the least common denominator in all aspects.
Is it a completely separate network / just internet access only?
It is a completely separate VLAN and only has access to the internet. We also only allow port 80 and 443 traffic. I'd be happy to discuss this off-list if you have any other questions. We struggled for a long time to come up with a policy and plan for guest wireless that everyone could at accept.
