The Magic 3 – ‘rescue’ WiFi standards in a Mobile Enterprise.
ByCisco and Apple provide the benefits of optimized WiFi connectivity and the use of prioritized business applications for iOS devices together with the integration of voice and collaboration to reduce costs and complexity in a world where mobility and connectivity are dependable from each other by giving their users more capabilities than ever before and the demanding needs out of the business.
Intelligence and efficient roaming is automatically configured for optimized WiFi connectivity and business data gets priority regarding prioritized business applications.
Not only iOS devices will work more seamslessly in a Cisco mobile enterprise environment, it is also the speed and powerfullness of these mobile devices which is an eyecatcher in this modern world of mobile enterprise.
Cisco and Apple are very familiar to each other by recognizing each devices in a network infrastructure environment together with enabling special capabilities. Apple devices can easily connect to a Cisco access point which gives the user optimized connectivity together with advanced networking features like Fast Roaming and Quality of Service (QoS).
Business critical apps need more bandwidth but combined with iOS 10 latest features and Cisco’s new hardware and software, the business can take full advantage in delivering great use and experience in business-critical real-time apps, (Wi-Fi) calling and collaboration.
“Cruising” the fast lane for business-critical real-time apps only applies for Cisco-Apple deployments so you can prioritize applications per environment.
Out of Cisco’s new hardware and software, the magic 3 WiFi standards (802.11k, 802.11r and 802.11v) were configured for iOS devices, allowing users to move seamlessly between access points on the same network, transition between them without interruption and reduce the delay of roaming and management overhead.
802.11k – send you list of Neighbors
802.11r – Fast Roaming (Fast Transition) without complete reauthentication
802.11v – BSS Transition sends you the new best access point
In summary:
With QoS and 802.11k, 802.11r, 802.11v configured:
* roaming performances will improve in end user browsing and application experience
* reduction in probability of poor audio quality experience
* reduction in network message load from the device beginning roaming
* low battery usage.
