This thread seems to have gone off track and started to talk about a platform for RIPE Atlas v4 hardware. While I encourage that discussion I'm wondering if anyone has any comments on WLAN authentication testing and tests being run over the /current/ Atlas platform?
Anything left out in my 5 points below?
More and more (Internet) communication is going wireless. Therefore I think it is natural that also the RIPE Atlas should figure out in what way a wireless measurement infrastructure can be build. Eduroam is a (mostly) well defined environment and therefore a very good starting point.

...but hopefully your support for this work will allow them to prioritise this work while not jeopardising the other commitments the team has made to the community.
From me a strong +1.
#5: This proposal is inline with your understanding of "WiFi measurements" on the Atlas roadmap
I'd be particularly interested in your feedback on whether you thought that the WiFi Measurements listed in the http://roadmap.ripe.net/ripe-atlas/ would accomplish the above or something completely different.
My feeling from the room was that the above was largely accepted. I'd appreciate those that voiced their support to also do this on the mailing list again. If there's any confusion I'm willing to clarify further.
Cheers, Tim
