Pittsburgh International Airport Offers Free Wireless: Page 7 of 8

Most memorable wireless breach: A "ping" virus was launched shortly after the wireless LAN went live last fall. But we disabled the pinging with Enterasys' NetSight Atlas Policy Manager.

How Wi-Fi is changing airport travel: It's making airports a stable work environment for business travelers.

Why airports have been behind the technology curve: They typically have a lack of IT resources. Most airports have a limited budget, and the major part of it goes to maintaining airfields.

Most ill-timed network outage: Weekday network outages are the worst, because work comes to a standstill.

Biggest IT mistake: Hesitance in going with new technologies.
