Question ID: 132403
What kind of equipment does MobileStar (now T-Mobile) use for their
wireless access points at Starbucks? I.e. what brand/model of WAP
device, and how is this connected to the Internet (DSL)? If they use
several different ones, it is sufficient if you can name one solution
that's used in a reasonably large number of their stores.

There is no answer at this time.

I don't know about the access points, but every starbucks uses a
dedicated T1 line connection to the internet. I could find a couple
sources stating this if you would like.

Thanks for the info concerning the T1 but the type of WAP is more important ...

In my area they all appear to be Cisco Aironet WAPs.

Further investigation indicates there is one wap per site and the
equipment is Cisco 350 series.  I have another friend who indicates
the WAPs in his area may be Cisco 1100 series but that seems like
overkill...
