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?

Friend and colleague, George Stefanick is will known in Wi-Fi circles. George has provided us with a pretty concise list of a lot of the gotchas in Wi-Fi design - have a read of the full blog for an interesting walk through George's Top 30 Technical Wi-Fi thoughts.

In this blog, we'll take a quick look at the functions, features and power level comparisons for Cisco Access Points. I thought it would be useful to have these in one place for easy comparison.

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

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.

Wi-Fi Predictive Designs are the starting point to any reliable Wi-Fi installation. If you want to support a range of Wi-Fi clients within your business, you need to undertake the correct steps to design your Wi-Fi installation. This starts with a Wi-Fi Predictive Design (sometimes also called a desktop design). The question is - what does a survey[…]

Wi-Fi Pre-Deployment Surveys (also known as AP-on-a-stick surveys) are an integral part of the process of undertaking a wireless design that actually works.

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[…]

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 out[…]
