I'm looking to bring wireless access into several hotel environments and am hoping to leverage the existing phone lines for transport, rather than having to run new ethernet lines.

I have heard of others using ADSL equipment, particularly Zhone, to do so. They say that they just cross connect the regular 66 block with a new filtered block and then the guest rooms don't have to have individual filters for the modems.

Has anyone else done this sort of thing? And if so, what has been your experience?

I'm hoping to cut the cost of cabling so that I can use cheaper access points, rather than more expensive ones with multiple radios and have to worry about meshing.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
