We all love Wi-Fi, but you've got to install your access points somewhere. Typically they're installed on the T-Bar of a suspended ceiling - sometimes though you have to secure the AP, or hide it for aesthetics reasons. In this blog, we'll look at some options.

What is Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (CURWB) — and why do we need it when traditional wireless already exists? If you’ve ever worked in environments where machines are constantly moving — ports, mines, factories, terminals — you know one thing for sure: The biggest issue is that when a client roams between access points, it can cause brief[…]

Cisco Private 5G gives business the opportunity to run their own mobile network. This isn’t a simple undertaking of course, but it does offer some valuable benefits for businesses that have the right use cases.

Wi-Fi works with radio waves. These are similar in nature to sound you can hear (not exactly, but let me have a little artistic licence). Why do you need to have Wi-Fi that works within reasonable RF power bounds? I've come up with a little story to help. Let's translate Wi-Fi in to audio. So here's the story..

When designing a new wireless network, RF power levels are often overlooked or misunderstood. Depending on the type of deployment, power levels can have a great impact on client performance and reliability. And here's the catch - not all Wi-Fi channels run at the same power!

What is RF Tuning? When a Wi-Fi network is installed, it should automatically set access point power and channels. It doesn't always get it right, so for that reason we strongly recommend any new install to undertake an initial RF Tuning activity.

In this blog series, I wanted to explore what a Wireless First strategy looks like for a number of customer verticals. Universities have extensive demands on their wireless infrastructure. Should Wi-Fi be the technology of choice for Universities?

CT Scanners are a pretty impressive looking bit of clinical technology. At what must be an anxious time for patients, it's nice to see how the hospitals are working hard to make a nicer environment for patients.

Warehouses have very special requirements when it comes to providing Wi-Fi coverage, for a whole host of reasons. They are a challenging environment in RF terms - there's often high ceilings, lots and lots of metal racking, RF attenuation is constantly changing (shelves filling and emptying, forklifts moving loads around and so on) and small devices[…]

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.
