Wireless Broadband: Health and Safety Information
This document discusses the health effects of radio emissions and extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields generated by wireless equipment such as mobile telephones and wireless access points.
In addition, this document aims to explain that the proposed technology for delivering wireless broadband falls well below the recommended levels of radiation and is in fact far less harmful than many devices used in our day to day lives.

Wireless Pointers and Advice for a Primary School
http://tinyurl.com/4sx8l
Wireless Pointers and Advice for a Primary School (Feb 2005)
In recent years, many schools have gone down the route of installing wired computer suites to deliver the ICT curriculum. Now that expectations have shifted to a more cross-curricular approach, some schools are considering more flexible solutions in the form of wireless networking.
If you are considering going wireless, the most important question to consider is what do you want to achieve. Integrating ICT requires school networks to be set up so that hardware, software and online resources can be accessed with minimal fuss. A wireless network can offer this flexibility, but only if the ICT infrastructure within the school allows access to the internet (as well as, for instance, saved files and resources) from any location in the school.

Next-Generation Wireless Technologies
http://www.eschoolnews.com/resources/reports/nextgenwireless/index.cfm
From Alabama to Wyoming, K-12 and higher-education leaders are embracing wireless technologies as a means of providing mobility, flexibility, and expandability to their IT infrastructures?he likes of which traditional wire-bound machines simply can't offer.
According to the most recent figures from education research firm Market Data Retrieval, 27 percent of all public schools had wireless networks last year, up from 15 percent in 2002. The numbers are even more dramatic among colleges and universities: Last year, 63 percent of all two- and four-year colleges and universities had wireless networks, up from 45 percent in 2002.
The benefits of wireless technologies are clear. Wireless devices are available without the headaches that come with having to tear down walls and renovate old school buildings for improved online access.

Wireless Computing Technology in the Design of Schools

The Role of Wireless Computing Technology in the Design of Schools
An argument can be made, and Prakash makes it once again in compelling fashion in his latest work on wireless computing, that today? wireless technology does make it a sensible choice in most situations. This is borne out not only by the advancements in the technology, but also by the extent to which it has won acceptance by schools and school systems nationwide.
For all the gains that wireless has made, there is still a good deal of confusion and misinformation about this technology that prevents even greater acceptance and use.

Bottom line? The debate is over. Go wireless.

Wireless Librarian
http://people.morrisville.edu/%7Edrewwe/wireless/index.htm
The purpose of this page is to provide a space for documenting my experiences using wireless and to provide resources for other libraries and librarians going through the wireless experience. This site so far concentrates on Wireless LANs in libraries but will be expanded if other wireless technologies start to make their way into libraries. This site does not cover cellular phone use or using cellular phones to access library resources. I will also include links to sites of interest.

Should Your Library Go Wireless?

Should Your Library Go Wireless? - Resources for Deciding
Some say wireless is the wave of the future, and that the days of miles of Ethernet cabling snaking through the walls of your building are soon to be a thing of the past. Others feel that wireless will never be robust enough to replace cabling. Still others cautiously contend that the drawbacks of wireless outweigh its advantages in all but a very few special circumstances. How are you to decide if a wireless LAN is the way for your library to go?

The purpose of this group is to discuss libraries and all types of wireless technologies. This includes but is not limited to wireless LANs in libraries, accessing library resources via wireless devices, and related issues such as WLANs, wireless bookmobiles.

Wireless LANs or WLANs
http://tinyurl.com/op93
Interest in wireless local area networks (wireless LANs or WLANs) has been growing exponentially, including in libraries. More were installed in the last quarter of 2001 than in the two previous quarters combined. The acceptance of the technology appears to be attributable to the fact that standards are now in place that address many of the shortcomings of earlier wireless technology. This technology is particularly appealing in buildings where additional wiring will damage new and historic finishes. It also provides an infrastructure to allow public users to connect their own wireless-equipped laptop PCs to the Library's network.

Wireless metropolitan-area networks (MANs)
http://www.eetimes.com/story/OEG20030130S0055
The IEEE Standards Authority on Wednesday (Jan. 29) approved the 802.16a specification for wireless metropolitan-area networks (MANs) in the 2- to 11-GHz range, giving a seal of approval to technology that one executive said could enable a disruptive change in communications.
Wireless MANs now are supported by a coalition named the WiMax Forum, which develops interoperability tests based on the profiles developed by the 802.16 task groups. As important as the forum, however, has been public statements from Intel Corp. and other vendors saying they expect 802.16 to be every bit as revolutionary as 802.11.

Wireless vs. Hardwired Networking in Schools
http://www.techlearning.com/db_area/archives/WCE/archives/wireless.htm
Many school districts become concerned with networking costs, especially during renovations or new construction. Technology coordinators and network planners are often trying to find ways to reduce costs while providing increased network services.
All politics aside, the district needs to meet its goals of keeping the students up to date with current technology while spending the taxpayer's money responsibly. A look at wireless and hardwired technologies will show that each has its place in the educational environment.
