This might be outside of this thread but how are you handling CALEA
compliance?

Subject: [SECURITY] Open/guest Wireless Campus Access


We would like to get an idea of how many institutions provide open/guest
wireless access.



.         Is you wireless open and unrestricted campus-wide or do you only
provide open wireless to designated areas?

.         What access restrictions and/or other security measures, if any,
are placed on the open wireless network?



I am especially interested to hear from VA State Institutions providing open
wireless access.  I would like to initiate a small offline conversation
about open/guest access as it relates to COV-ITRM Standard SEC501-01.



I do welcome feedback from other institutions as well, especially with
respect to security measures implemented in open/guest wireless access and
technologies used for green space coverage.
