Wi-Fi Surveys

Wi-Fi 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.

How to Configure Cisco AI-Enhanced RRM

Cisco AI-Enhanced RRM is the way to deliver enhanced RRM outcomes for your network. What does that mean? We can now use a longer duration data set in order to work out peaks and troughs on your Wi-Fi usage and deliver the most optimal environment, using Artificial Intelligence with this data. In this blog we'll look at how to configure AI-Enhanced RRM.
