Re: Wi-fi. Approaching customers

[Ryan Sumida <rsumida () csulb edu>]

As a side note.. 

Newbury Networks has a product called WiFi Watchdog that can allow/deny 
access based on physical location.  As an example, it can be configured 
where anyone outside the building walls can not connect to the network but 
once they move inside the building they are allowed access.  Sounds like 
black magic but it works (a rep came down and showed us a demo yesterday) 
and can help manage who gets on an open WiFi network like Matthew's.
