Two questions to all of you regarding warehouse modernization - 
specifically access points.

1) Are vendors willing to come in and determine for you how many access 
points would be needed in your warehouse, at no cost?  The first thing I 
will get asked is how much will it cost to 'wireless enable' the 
warehouse.  I at least want an idea of that to start with.

2) At COMMON, I attended a session expounding on the benefits of 'access 
ports' vs 'access points'.  Access ports are simply disconnecting the 
antenna from the rest of the electronics in the access point.  Several 
antennas can share an access port thereby lowering the cost.  Anybody 
done or doing this?  Makes a lot of sense to me.

Thanks.

BONUS:  Is there a single word term to indicate wireless enabling of an 
area?  Something like "wirelessification"?  <g>
