On the job training is important for any position, but perhaps none more so than for new network technicians. After all, the functioning of your network and success is dependent upon hands-on experience with setup and installation, troubleshooting, and repair. Training new technicians often presents novel challenges and takes current critical people away from the […]
WiFi Assurance means more than delivering an optimized wireless network. It means providing predictable, reliable, high-performance wireless communications with no surprises, no suddenly dropped connections, no mysteriously delayed responses. WiFi Assurance solutions consistently deliver unprecedented visibility into the dynamic nature of wireless networks, helping make networks, and the businesses they support, faster and stronger. To […]

In an earlier post discussing over-coverage on the 2.4GHz spectrum, we mentioned that we don’t recommend completely disabling the 2.4GHz band. We got several questions about that, so today we want to discuss it in more detail. First, let’s check out the benefits to disabling the band. There are more channels available in 5GHz, so […]
What do we mean by Airtime Utilization? Free airtime describes how much time is available on a channel for data transmissions. Any time a device communicates with another device or an access point (AP) it uses airtime. Airtime Utilization is a per-channel statistic that defines what percentage of the channel is currently being used, and […]
Not all networks are exactly alike, and for good reason. At a basic level, the network you need for your house has different requirements than the network you need for your school, but it gets more complicated than that. Not even all schools need the exact same network, and this applies to schools in the […]
Are you familiar with site surveys? You probably, and should have, had one when your wireless network was installed, but you might not have thought about it since. Site surveys determine exactly where access points (APs) should be placed for optimum network performance. Those performing the site survey know that physical obstructions (walls, ceilings) and […]
You may have heard that we have entered the fourth industrial revolution. What does that mean exactly? The first industrial revolution started in textile factories hundreds of years ago; the second affected everything from steel to motor cars; and the third brought us computers. Today, the fourth industrial revolution includes artificial intelligence (AI), 3D printing, […]
It’s an unfortunate fact that, frequently, problems are not reported to IT while they are occurring. Maybe this is because IT isn’t onsite, maybe it’s because the problem seemed to resolve itself quickly, or maybe it didn’t seem like a big enough problem to warrant flagging down IT. Whatever the reason, the fact is that […]
With the mHealth market size projected to reach $102.43 billion by 2022, and 70% of healthcare organizations using IoT technology, it’s easy to see that WiFi is as prevalent and important in the healthcare industry as in any other. However, this industry has unique wireless needs, and faces distinctive challenges in ensuring optimum network health. […]
