The Wireless Technical Advisory Service (WTAS) ran for a number of years and as technologies have improved, the demand for this advisory service has decreased. It is important that we direct resources to those areas that are most needed by our community and so it was decided that the service would close at the end of March 2015. We'd like to thank Loughborough University, especially Matt Cook, Pranay Pancholi and Scott Armitage, for their advice and support over the years. Existing documents will remain available on the web site but we won't be responding to new queries after that date and neither will we add any new content. Should you have any wireless related queries, you may find that someone has asked the same question on the wireless-admin Jiscmail list and that it has been answered: WIRELESS-ADMIN@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Don’t forget that we have various documents and guides in our library area here. If you haven't already joined the list you can do so at www.jiscmail.ac.uk If you have any questions please contact service@ja.net

Overview of IEEE 802.11u

80211u.pdf

IEEE 802.11u is an amendment to the 802.11 family of protocols which enables the sending, and requesting, of information relating to a wireless network and its operator/owner. This allows users to be presented not just with the SSID of a wireless network but more detailed information, such as the services offered by the network. This document from Loughborough University provides a brief overview.

Exciting when 11u to be deployed across the public sector spectrum for it will provide a much richer form of connectivity, which will inevitably lead to a greater number of persons in education getting wireless connectivity in more places.
