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 devices (Wi-Fi, other types of communication devices, and unintentional interference sources) being haphazardly thrown into the 2.4GHz band both now and in the immediate future, […]

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 an explanation of what you’re viewing will help you understand the tasks that were performed. Most experienced Wi-Fi engineers will tell you that there’s no

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 and over again. This blog does not take into consideration minor/unique system configuration tweaks. It does, however, take into consideration that some features should be

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 manufacturers bother building 3×3:3 platforms at all. The singular answer is muscle flexing. It’s little more than a marketing strategy in most cases. Marketing Ploy

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 Site Survey using industry standard surveying software such as: Fluke Networks’ AirMagnet Site Survey Pro Ekahau’s Site Survey Tamosoft’s Tamograph Pro Each of these software

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 could potentially be 10 different strategies on how to move from a mixed (2.4GHz + 5GHz) environment to a Pure-5GHz, it’s my guess that many
