This is one of those days where my job is totally fun!!!
GCI has installed a free 802.11b wireless network for the Shootout and I'm a test driver. This is so cool!
As I type, I'm at the official scorer's table about three feet away from the Seton Hall men's team who are running the floor. Those guys are big, fast, and scary when they're thundering by only inches away...
We setup a wide open network configured in the following manner:
- One Cable Modem connected to the...
- Network side of a Nomadix Universal Subscriber Gateway.
- A small five port ethernet switch is connected to the subscriber side of the Nomadix box.
- Three Ethernet cables are run from the switch to three different wireless access points deployed on the arena main floor, the press room, and the VIP lounge.
- Access is free and wide open. The Nomadix box provides the IP address (via DHCP). When folks connect, the Nomadix box walks them through a few simple login steps (with a GCI splash screen of course!) and then the user is free to surf the net, VPN, etc. It's very cool!
 Here I am - looking not very official and very little!
