At IPTel, we have developed a lot of techniques over the years to best fault find wireless issues. All too common is an installation which doesn't perform, causes dropouts, is slow and leaves the end customer with an unhappy result. We have the answer - it's called a Wi-Fi Assurance Review and is a service we have developed in house at IPTel.

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.

What power is your AP Transmitting at? With Cisco APs, we can see a power level, which is normally in the range of 1 - 8 (1-6 for some APs), but what is the actual dB power level the AP is transmitting at? This is a combination of a lot of factors - let's take a look.

In essence, Cisco AI-Enhanced RRM is making use of the normal RRM features. These tools are essentially set to automatic mode, and AI-Enhanced RRM makes use of these to tune the network. Based upon the analysis of your anonymised data, AI-Enhanced RRM sends back instructions from the cloud to your Cisco DNA Center on how best to optimise these features.

Wi-Fi reviews are not the easiest of things. Unlike fault finding most networking, Wi-Fi has the added complexity of RF - and all those multitude of clients. In this blog, we'll take a measured run through on where to start in your fault finding journey.

Software Defined Architecture is the concept that we can configure the network from a centralised management system. In the case of Cisco, this is DNA Center. SDA removes us as engineers from the CLI configuration layer, although the physical layer still needs careful design in order to ensure no single points of failure and that the physical design is[…]

We are getting more and more requests to review Wi-Fi networks which aren't quite meeting the specification. Many customers are finding that companies which don't truly understand Wi-Fi - or how to make it work - have deployed their network and are either incapable of making it work or don't care.

As a CIO you’ll need to decide not only the technology direction your organisation will take, but more importantly when you will decide to deploy. Wi-Fi is a fundamental networking technology for any business. If you haven't yet upgraded to Wi-Fi 6, here's our CIOs guide for when you should do this.

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.
