  • How to upgrade the WLAN for mobile applications

    In order to upgrade WLANs for mobile devices and mobility applications, network managers must implement 802.11n technology, and WLAN architectures that can handle lossless applications like VoIP and other unified communications. 

  • Integrated wireless network management systems work across infrastructures

    Enterprises must implement integrated wireless network management systems that are user-aware and offer end-to-end visibility but also provide the drill-down capabilities of wired network management systems. 

  • Preparing your wired network for wireless network integration

    Wireless LAN integration means upgrading wired networks with new equipment and traffic prioritization to avoid bottlenecks between the networks and provide QoS for wireless multimedia applications, including WLAN voice and video. 

  • How to reach maximum 802.11n speed and throughput

    Vendors promise 802.11n WLAN speed of 600 Mbps, but users find they can realistically reach about 300 Mbps. In order to maximize 802.11n speed and throughput, users find they must have just the right AP configuration and use of antennas. 

  • Wireless or Ethernet LAN? An apples-to-apples cost comparison

    Now that 802.11n has made wireless LAN faster and more reliable, network administrators are wondering: Wireless or Ethernet LAN? Until now Ethernet replacement hasn't been feasible, but 802.11n WLAN benefits are much more tangible now. 

  • Integrating wired and wireless LANs: Making the business case

    With improved 802.11n performance, wireless LAN ports are overtaking Ethernet in the enterprise, and networking teams are pressed to find solutions for integrated wired and wireless network management. 

  • How to plan for 802.11n wireless LAN upgrades

    802.11n WLAN upgrades mean more than just implementing new antennas and access points. 802.11n network requirements include the need for more power and controller capacity, as well as complex management and monitoring tools. 

  • Deploying 802.11n access points: Best practices

    802.11n access points offer greater speed, footprint and ability to support demanding applications than their 802.11a/b/g counterparts, but they require different configuration, monitoring and management. Learn strategies for 802.11n deployment. 

  • Understanding 802.11n wireless antennas

    Learn how 802.11n wireless antennas have been improved to increase network footprint, available bandwidth and resilience to problems that crippled older 802.11a/b/g access points, and how improved speed and capacity is made possible using techniques ... 

  • Voice over wireless LAN deployment requires constant maintenance

    Voice over wireless LAN (VoWLAN) deployment, unlike wired networks, is susceptible to changes external to the network itself -- which may affect coverage and call quality -- and therefore requires constant maintenance. In this tip, learn how to monit...
