Topic:      UWA Wireless networking project (SNAP)

In 2001 two related projects were funded at UWA, one for a pilot for
wireless networking and the other for student network access using
their own laptop computers. Since both project had similar requirements
for Authorisation, Security and Charging they were implement as a
single entity.

Toivo will talk about the final design they came up with to meet
the challenges of wireless security, real time charging and
wireless/wired integration as well as the wrong turns they took 
along the way.

Toivo has a Bachelor of Engineering and a Diploma Computation for the
University of Western Australia.

He works for the University of WA in University Communication Services 
which is responsible for the university's backbone network.
