Conquering today's Bring Your Own Device Challenges [ Source: Aruba Networks ]
March 2012- A BYOD solution should automate the device onboarding process for employees and guests, as well as the administration and enforcement of policies, by gathering information about the context of the device, user and connection. BYOD also requires real-time visibility and reporting to quickly measure, enforce, and meet compliance mandates.

Eleven Myths about 802.11 Wi-Fi Networks [ Source: Global Knowledge ]
August 2006- It seems that Wi-Fi networks have been misunderstood by much of the IT community since their inception. Even the reasons for this misunderstanding are kind of hard to understand. The result has been that myths about 802.11 (better known as Wi-Fi) networks have grown almost as fast as the technology itself. This paper dispels 11 of the more common myths and provides accurate information that you can use to make your wireless network more secure, scalable, and ...

Integrating Mobility With UC [ Source: Microsoft ]
November 2008- Microsoft features this presentation on Unified Communications. Mobility isn’t just about mobile phones. Mobile users employ a combination of devices and tools. Consistent experience across PC, Web and mobile phone is important. Solutions need to work seamlessly regardless of where the user is--in the office or on the road.

A Media-Oriented Transmission Mode Selection in 802.11 Wireless LANs [ Source: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ]
January 2008- In recent years, high-speed WLANs have become widely popular in various sectors, including health care, manufacturing and academic settings. These sectors benefited from the productivity gains of using hand-held terminals and notebook computers to transmit real-time information within physically distributed environments. This research paper presents a media-oriented mechanism for selecting the appropriate transmission mode in 802.11-based Wireless LANs (WLANs). The paper discusses the modifications needed for the control and data-packet headers to implement the approach ...

The Wi-Fi Device Explosion - What's Your Plan? [ Source: Interop ]
May 2011- Tablets, Laptops, and Smartphones, fact is wireless clients have displaced wired as the primary network connection. Coverage alone is not enough ? IT must support greater densities, higher bandwidths and any application over a diverse set of devices. Learn how providing a ?wired-like? service doesn?t require greater cost, just a greater understanding of Wi-Fi.

Centralized/Infrastructure Spectral Assurance: Evaluating Total Cost of Ownership [ Source: Interop ]
April 2010- While many forms of wireless-LAN assurance and verification tools have become available over the past decade or so of the history of the WLAN and Wi-Fi, one of the last to be addressed is the ability to examine activity at the physical layer(PHY) – in other words, to look at what’s happening in the air itself, what we call spectral assurance (SA). SA is particularly important not just because the frequencies used by WLANs ...

Wireless Broadband in India: Evaluation of Technology Options [ Source: Savitar Research Group ]
September 2010- In the backdrop of the ongoing standards war, operators face difficult migration choices, namely Wimax "e" to Wimax "m" or TD-LTE. Technology decisions by operators are roiled by competing claims from the competing factions about their own technologies. As a result, operators do not have clear information to make the right decisions. Savitar presents an in-depth study on the technological feasibility of the co-existence of the competing technologies and a migration from one standard to ...

Alcatel-Lucent: The Road To 4G Wireless [ Source: Interop ]
May 2009- As significant as the demand for wireless broadband connectivity is in developed countries, the demand is far outstripped by that in high-growth countries such as India and China. According to Alcatel-Lucent’s Mike Seymour, in mature economies broadband access is increasingly considered a universal service and users have a high expectation of access anywhere. However, the economic downturn has impacted which of the two major technologies, WiMAX or LTE, will succeed in the 4G world. ...
