Back-to-back innovative product releases from Aerohive…hmmm.  Who would’ve thought that they would re-enter the innovation game after a 5-year hiatus. Not me, but I must say that I’m very pleasantly

So much has been and will be said about the upcoming 802.11 PHY amendment called 802.11ax (hereafter just “11ax”) that I felt I needed to chime in to counteract some

In each of my weekly classes, I do a full walk-through of the “Define, Design, Deploy, Diagnose (Validate/Optimize)” process. It’s never a surprise when most of the students are excited

With client density continually on the rise, and more high-density use cases popping up all the time, it only makes sense to replace unused 2.4GHz radios with 5GHz radios in

For those of you who have attended an Ekahau ECSE course or my CWNA course, you will remember the discussions of “Primary” and “Secondary” RF coverage when using predictive modeling

There are arguments for and against disabling low data rates, and it’s my hope, that after reading this blog, you will understand why disabling lower legacy data rates may help

I readily admit that I could be all wet on this blog, so I have posed the title as a request rather than an assertion. I am going to state

I have recently overheard the following in regard to “selling more APs.” “Let’s recommend two APs per classroom for more capacity.” “Just go with one AP per classroom. It’s easier.”

2.4GHz interference advances with the determination of General George S. Patton, perhaps with General “Chesty” Puller as a teammate. BYOD, IoT, and STUFF fuels the onslaught. Because of so many

Like all other “survey” related tasks, measuring and annotating wall attenuation starts with marking up a floor plan. While the tiny print makes Figure-2 a little difficult to read, hopefully

Much of the work I do on customer networks these days is repetitive. That’s not to say that it’s always simple work, but I do see the same things over

Within most enterprise manufacturers who sell both 2×2:2 and 3×3:3 platforms, the ratio of overall sales is 80-85% 2×2:2 and 15-20% 3×3:3. Given those numbers, someone might ask why do

Most any technical professional within the Wi-Fi market can tell you what an RF Site Survey is. Far fewer, but still a reasonable number of professionals, can perform an RF

Now that the 2.4GHz is Dead gauntlet has been thrown down, I thought it prudent to help those who are trying to move to a Pure-5GHz Wi-Fi infrastructure. While there

Just as we thought everything was stabilizing after the big BYOD rush…here comes its big brother…IoT.  As soon as you dig into the nuts and bolts of IoT, you realize

When the FCC recently ordered Marriott International and Marriott Hotel Services to pay a $600,000 fine for “jamming mobile hotspots” within their own facilities, the Wi-Fi world suddenly changed. There

Do not ask for whom the IoT bell tolls. It tolls for thee. That means you…as in, “ready or not, here I come.” The Internet of Things (IoT) phenomenon (or
