DESCRIPTION:Academic network of Serbia (AMRES) recognized a need to organi
 ze a training/workshop for IT staff of its member institutions which would
  cover wireless technology topics. The training is going to be organized i
 n September 2011 within the GEANT3/NA3/T4 task “Campus Best Practice” 
 and it is going to cover best practices in wireless networks. Four countri
 es\, with extensive experience in implementation of wireless solutions\, a
 re contributing to the agenda of the training.AMRES member institutions ha
 ve a lot of wireless equipment. Usually these are low cost\, standalone so
 lutions\, employed to provide the Internet connectivity at places where th
 e lacks of wired network are experienced. There are some rare cases where 
 serious radio and coverage planning was performed previous to wireless inf
 rastructure implementation\, thus resulting in a few major WLAN installati
 ons in AMRES at the moment.Interest in topics concerning wireless technolo
 gy topics is increasing in AMRES as a result of popularization and spreadi
 ng of the eduroam service during the year. Earlier this year\, eduroam tra
 ining was held resulting with increasing number of institutions connected 
 to eduroam (at the moment about 15) and eduroam hostspots (20 in Serbia). 
 The focus of eduroam training was on the service architecture\, ways to jo
 in the service\, as well as the FreeRADIUS server configuration\, monitori
 ng\, logging and security incidents propagation.During and after the eduro
 am training there were a lot of questions from AMRES IT staff beyond the s
 cope of the training. Most of these questions were related to wireless inf
 rastructure\, AMRES recommendations for wireless solutions and protocols a
 s well as solutions for common security issues in wireless networks. This 
 indicated a need for an additional training/workshop and NA3/T4 wireless t
 raining is seen as complementary to the eduroam training available at AMRE
 S Media Portal. It will be organized with the aim to answer actual questio
 ns and to cover the topics regarding best practices in wireless infrastruc
 ture deployment which are most important for AMRES.Target group is network
  engineers working with deployment of wireless technology and eduroam serv
 ice in AMRES member institutions.The wireless training/workshop is going t
 o be organized as part of the GEANT3 project within the NA3/T4 task "Campu
 s Best Practices".\n\nhttps://events.saifa.rs/event/216/
