In this blog, we'll take a quick look at the functions, features and power level comparisons for Cisco Access Points. I thought it would be useful to have these in one place for easy comparison.

Wireless Surveys are critical to the operation of any Wireless LAN deployment. While Wi-Fi can tune itself, you must start with the right density and placement of access points. It may come as a surprise, but there are a number of Wi-Fi surveys and the Wi-Fi design process is actually delivered as a number of states.

Radio Resource Management (RRM) is all about delivering an automated way to tune the RF in your Cisco network. However - for a variety of reasons, it doesn't always get it right. Misconfigured RRM can cause a lot of issues for clients - particularly with roaming. There is now a better option - Cisco Artificial Intelligence Enhanced RRM.

In December 2015, I was travelling to Canada and along the way took note of the Wi-Fi installations. I know it's a bit geeky.. when you work in Wi-Fi a while you kind of naturally end up looking at the ceiling in a lot of buildings.. and assessing how well Wi-Fi is installed when you travel overseas.

Protecting your network is crucial in today's digital landscape. Cisco Umbrella provides a multi-layer set of options to project your network and users.

One of the Cisco Digital Networking Architecture corner stone concepts is Software Defined Access (or simply, SD Access). One of the key components is the use of Scalable Group Tags (SGTs) and these form a cornerstone of the SD Access story.

Wi-Fi Predictive Designs are the starting point to any reliable Wi-Fi installation. If you want to support a range of Wi-Fi clients within your business, you need to undertake the correct steps to design your Wi-Fi installation. This starts with a Wi-Fi Predictive Design (sometimes also called a desktop design). The question is - what does a survey[…]

If you have a Meraki environment, you will inevitably want an automated report to be sent to you on your chosen schedule, so you can see the general state of your network – and have an easy alert to issues that might be happening. We have the answer – in this blog we’ll run through how our Automating Meraki tool can help.

At IPTel, we have developed a lot of techniques over the years to best fault find wireless issues. All too common is an installation which doesn't perform, causes dropouts, is slow and leaves the end customer with an unhappy result. We have the answer - it's called a Wi-Fi Assurance Review and is a service we have developed in house at IPTel.

Wi-Fi Pre-Deployment Surveys (also known as AP-on-a-stick surveys) are an integral part of the process of undertaking a wireless design that actually works.
