In today's digital age, a strong and reliable Wi-Fi connection is the lifeblood of our homes. Whether you're streaming your favourite shows, working from home, or connecting with loved ones, a well-optimized home Wi-Fi network is essential.

There’s multiple challenges in designing, deploying and maintaining a network environment. We can’t go through all these in one blog - there’s just too many, but in this blog, we’re going to have a quick run though on those that SDN (Software Defined Networking) can help solve.

Once your Wi-Fi install has been completed, how do you know that everything is working as expected? They answer is an onsite Deployment Validation Survey - in this blog we'll walk you through what to expect when we arrive onsite.

Wireless designs are best done in two phases - the predictive RF design and the onsite pre-deployment (or APoS) survey. In this blog, we'll run you through what to expect when our team comes to site!

Have you ever stayed in a hotel and the Wi-Fi wasn't great? I'll bet the answer is an unqualified yes. I've travelled quite a lot for work, which has given me plenty of opportunity to sample the delights of hotel Wi-Fi. It can be a bit of an inconvenience when you're travelling and you can't access your email - when you need to work and have some[…]

The Cisco 9800 WLC comes in a range of options, from the high throughout 9800-80 down to the cloud based virtual WLCs. The controller has a number of built in features that help increase the uptime of the controller – something you’d expect with a high-end wireless controller from Cisco.

We've been building Wi-Fi networks to meet Real Time Location Grade (RTLS) for quite a while now. Depending on how the APs are laid out, and the network tuned, typical accuracy achieved can be sub 5m in location accuracy. Any location solution based upon Wi-Fi has some variance in accuracy between areas though. Some RTLS vendors support the use of[…]

Cisco ISE (Identity Services Engine) is an Enterprise grade AAA product that has been around for seven years.

The Cisco 3800 series access point is a solid choice of AP from Cisco. The 3800 combines 802.11ac Wave 2 capability with the capability to add a module - so you can add a WiPS module or Hyperlocation to the AP.

Many organisations use 802.1X EAP-PEAP with MS-CHAPv2 as the inner authentication method (or PEAP for short) to join the corporate WLAN. If you use a username and password to join your WLAN then this is likely what you use too. WPA2 Enterprise is the most commonly used method to encrypt traffic and along with EAP-TLS (certificate based authentication),[…]
