For those who don’t know, I’ve been building my home Wireless lab for the better part of 2 years. It started off as a 4402 load to me from a customer who had traded it in on an upgrade to a 5508. Between some gear off ebay, some loaners from coworkers and clients alike it has grown. In the last part of 2012, my employer purchased some equipment for lab up and demo purposes which currently resides in the lab. I’m very thankful to my employer for sponsoring this effort, and various other individuals who have donated equipment.
