In today's fast-paced world, businesses require reliable and efficient backup solutions to safeguard mission critical infrastructure. The IPTel team are regularly approached by clients seeking a simplified approach to Cisco appliance backups, or when they discover their existing backups have failed, putting business continuity at risk.

Modern Wi-Fi Access Points are now capable of much higher transmit powers than the client devices. They can run at 200mW, with the average small client device running at 25mW. One technique to limit transmit power in a Wi-Fi network is to use RF power caps on the APs.

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[…]

Wi-Fi design is a complex business. We have to take into account a lot of information to ensure the design is correct. In this second part of the Wi-Fi Design series, let's take a look at the Technical Requirements.

Wi-Fi Design has a lot of variables to be taken into account. In this first part of a two part series, I'll open our treasure chest of important information for a Wi-Fi design - the business requirements.

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...

Wireless designs are best done in two phases - the predictive RF design and the onsite pre-deployment (or APoS) survey. In this blog, we'll run you through what to expect when our team comes to site!

Real Time Location Services (or RTLS for short) describes a range of technologies used to track and locate people and equipment. Often there is a task / messaging engine overlaid, in order to bring the technology to life and integrate it into the operational processes. In this blog, we'll take a look at the Call Assist use case.

The Cisco 9124AXE is a versatile access point that supports a variety of antenna configurations to suit different deployment scenarios. However, the official documentation isn’t clear about how the antennas should be cabled. In this blog, we’ll break this down and explore further.
