Wireless Field Day #7 | Aruba Networks – R.I.P No More “DeskPhones’’
Posted by: | Comments
Unplugging the last cord, ..Welcome Microsoft Lync !
But before the last cord can be unplugged this should be well prepared starting by a pilot, WiFi should be reliable, meaning Clean RF – High Density Coverage by AirWave – WiFi Redundancy..and finally the Enterprise Voice Rollout
But why Microsoft Lync?
.It has the best user experience of any UCC offering
.. Mobile apps for smartphones & tablets
…Seamless integration with MS Office productivity suite
….Tight intergration with Aruba WiFI
Fast Lync Adoption:
Lync SDN API should be used to optimize WiFi Roaming, Priority Over The Air and WiFi Call Loadbalancing, on the other hand Lync SDN API intergrates with Aruba WLAN for proactive monitoring, By the way Lync SDN is all about QoS flow and collecting call data
Key components of the Lync topology are:
- Lync Front End Pool
- Lync SDN manager
- Active Directory
Wireless Field Day #7 | Fluke Networks – 802.11ac & flying drones…
Posted by: | CommentsFluke Neworks was the first presenter during Wireless Field Day 7.
I am glad that they started the presentation about their history of innovation, starting in y2000 with their world’s first WiFi field tester; Waver Runner…and after 14 years the lauch of 802.11ac within AirMagnet…they truly keep the indispendable WiFi networks alive.!
AirMagnet Mission: Networks leaders need to redesign their WLAN’s to address the proliferation of personal mobile devices in the workspace, deploy WLAN’s that currently support three devices per user so that they are robust enough to support Voice,Video and Collaboration.
The biggest challenge for the new 802.11ac technology is not a technical one but making a business case and the roll out should be in a gradual way in “bandwidth or capacity hungry” locations.
But a lot of customers are still in a investigation phase before the transition to 802.11ac can start. Those who have deployed 802.11ac have a lot of connection problems, due to fact that the client devices are not 802.11ac compliant.
Fluke Networks offers the next products with 802.11ac support; AirMagnet Planner which has a great visualization coverage and performance, it can determine number, location and configuration of AP’s; AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer Pro, this is a toolkit to measure expected performance before roll outs. AirMagnet Survey Pro; a WLAN deployment solution that enables users to measure true 802.11ac end user experience.
Fluke Networks has the industry’s only complete lifecycle solution to speed up design, deployment and troubleshooting effiency.
Secure your WLAN from flying Drones ….BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU! …Drone Detection…
Introduced by Fluke Networks on June 30, 2014. Drones potentially snoop with video and have the potential to impact entreprise WiFi privacy…
..maybe in future drones can help us out with WLAN site surveying…
or (Google) Glass Detection..Glass scan record HD video from 30 yards and capture PIN’s or other private sections…
