Wi-Fi Troubleshooting: How to Fault Find a Wi-Fi Network

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[…]

Clinical RTLS: Call Assist

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.

Comparing Cisco AP Coverage Patterns

Different Wi-Fi Access Points (APs) have been designed for various use cases, it’s no surprise they also have different coverage patterns. In this blog, we’ll take a look at some of the more common Cisco APs and how their coverage varies. The perfect access point doesn’t exist – the size, shape, mounting options and coverage patterns are all things we[…]

Wi-Fi Data Rates and Coverage

Wi-Fi data rates, coverage and interference are all interlinked topics. It's a simple rule in Wi-Fi that you can't "have it all". If you use high power, you have big cells and typically more interference. Lower power means more APs are needed. Let's take a look at these interlinked concepts.
