The organizing committee of MobiCom 2000 has arranged for a wireless LAN facility in the conference area. An IEEE 802.11 and 802.11b compliant network with Internet access will be provided by Direct Network Services . The participants will need to pay a deposit on their credit card for the cost of the network card. The credit card will not be charged if the network card is returned by the end of the conference. Information about setting up the networking on laptops for accessing the wireless LAN will be available at the conference location.
Participants can also bring their own network cards if they wish.
The 802.11 frequency hopping cards will not work. Even the Cisco Aeronet cards will work, but they will fall back to the 802.11 base rate of 2Mbps.
