The intention of this blog series is to help Radius Server administrators test their configurations - mostly for purposes of learning and rapid prototyping configurations. In part 2 we will cover the use of EAP-PEAP authentication and in part 3 we covering testing of authentication.

Here we review how the typical AP layout for location grade WLAN is laid out - but also take a look at the Cisco Hyperlocation module and how that might help you achieve the highest levels of location accuracy.

When you're installing a new wireless network, there's a lot of variables and decisions you need to make, right out of the gate. Some decisions work just fine with small installations, but just don't scale to larger ones. One such decision is the way in which you name your Cisco Access Points.

Wi-Fi can be crippled by too many devices competing for airtime, creating a slower experience for all users. One way to reduce the number of devices competing for airtime is to increase the number of channels in use. How do the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) Channels fit into this picture?

Hospitals rely on a wide array of services, delivered across the wired and wireless networks. Discover the essential factors to consider when designing a reliable and secure Wi-Fi network for hospitals.

Warehouses increasingly rely on great Wi-Fi - bar code scanners, voice pick devices and location services are all important in the warehouse environment.

I work for a Cisco Partner who employs around 15 engineers, predominantly designing and optimising Wireless networks. We were awarded an amazing opportunity in the first quarter of 2020 : designing and implementing the wired and wireless network for a hospital destined as a COVID recovery facility. And best of all: have it operational in 6 weeks of[…]

The Wi-Fi Alliance has announced the name for the upcoming standard for the introduction of the 6GHz band to Wi-Fi. This will be a major, major update to Wi-Fi and be transformational to all Wi-Fi users. Read more below on the introduction of 6GHz to the Wi-Fi band: Wi-Fi 6E. This blog is some of my musings on what might be – like most Wi-Fi engineers[…]

Nursecall systems are used to signal to the clinical staff that help is needed in a specific room and is typically done via a button on the wall of a patients room. What if it were possible to be able to switch on the presence light and automatically cancel nursecall when you walked into the room?

Wireless (or Wi-Fi as we all call it) is ubiquitous. It's everywhere - we consume Wi-Fi at home, at the office and with guest services when we're out and about. The need to provide Wi-Fi is clear. How you fund that Wi-Fi install is a different question. Would it be useful to be able to lease your Wi-Fi installation? An evergreen model of support and[…]
