One of the common questions I get surrounds the use of Wi-Fi 6 and 5G. Both Wi-Fi 6 and 5G now promise users much higher download speeds and a much more interactive user experience thanks to this. Why then don’t we all just abandon Wi-Fi 6 and use 5G – especially in the corporate environment, where there are internal costs for deploying a wireless LAN.

There are distinct phases for a Wi-Fi Deployment all of which are reliant on each other to help structure and form a dependable and high performing network that consumers can rely on. In this blog, we'll take a look at the lifecycle of a Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) deployment.

Do you ever wonder what is happening on your network? Sometimes it seems slow, clients don’t seem to act the way you think they should and you have a suspicion you might have been hacked.

The new era of hybrid work requires a revised approach to security, and SSE (Security Service Edge) is a key enabler of any organization’s hybrid-work strategy. Cisco Secure Access is a converged cloud security SSE solution, grounded in zero trust, that provides seamless, transparent, and secure access from anything to anywhere. This solution ushers in[…]

Cisco are massively moving the needle on how future networks will be designed and deployed. Cisco SDA Fabric is a term we're going to be hearing a whole lot more about. Why change something that works? In this blog, we’ll take a look at that exact question.

When you're considering the mix of network management and fault finding applications, you need to consider how they'll all fit together. It's not a case of ThousandEyes vs DNA Center, but more how these two tools fit together they're both ones you'll want to have in your mix of network management and fault finding.

Welcome to an IPTel blog covering Wi-Fi Design 101 and all that's involved in producing the highest performing network possible! There's a lot to the process of Wi-Fi Design and Implementation - hopefully this blog helps.

Wi-Fi Troubleshooting is a specialist networking discipline all of its own. Over the years we have dealt with a large amount of bugs in controller code, old drivers on devices, chipsets that can’t roam properly, interference, rogue APs causing interference, incorrectly configured equipment and so on – the list of possible reasons for faults is a long[…]

Elastic Wi-Fi. It’s probably not a term you’ve heard before in relation to wireless and Wi-Fi. I’m going to run through some principles I’ve learnt over a few years in the business to help you improve Wi-Fi performance, but first, I’ll digress...

This week, I wanted to look at what it takes to build a clinical grade Wi-Fi network. We've worked on and upgraded lots of hospitals that just didn't have a fit for purpose Wi-Fi network. Building Wi-Fi in hospitals is unique - there are lots of use cases, critical reliance on the technology and the building fabric is often different throughout the[…]
