Please log in for more thread options Is there a web site which has a good tutorial for implementing a wireless network in a public area such as a hospital? I'd like to get info about how they do the SSIDs, channel assignments and such to create seamless network. I'd also like to see a nice architecture diagram showing various ways the system would be integrated into the external internet world. Routers, gateways and stuff like that. I'm interested in this stuff and would like to go further into understanding how it all works and fits together. Thanks!! Dave | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I agree. Hospitals have HIPAA security requirements which greatly restrict what can be done with wireless. I strongly suggest you find someone with a clue on both the technical and legal aspects of wireless. There's more to security than just enabling encryption. -- # Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D Santa Cruz CA 95060 # 831-336-2558 jeffl@comix.santa-cruz.ca.us # http://802.11junk.com jeffl@cruzio.com # http://www.LearnByDestroying.com AE6KS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

True, if the wireless will serve both the hospital and the public, but not if the wireless is a separate service provided just to and for the public. -- Best regards, FAQ for Wireless Internet: <http://Wireless.wikia.com>

>not if the wireless is a separate service provided just to and for the >public. I beg to differ. HIPAA wireless security is more than just encryption, authorization, and authentication. It's also about how to prevent laptops from carrying off sensitive patient information. It's about tracking users, logging access, and detecting penetrations. It's about encrypted records, asset tracking, NAC/NAP, certificates, VPN's, and possibly some biometrics. I have to deal with a few such systems and they are nailed down rather tightly, much more than the common corporate WLAN. The one public access wireless in a hospital that I know about has it's own DSL line and absolutely no physical connection to the hospital network. A mix of interesting articles and manure on wireless in hospitals: <http://www.hipaadvisory.com/tech/wireless.htm>
