CTS 171: Designing Wi-Fi Networks In Higher Education




Clear To Send: Wireless Network Engineering show

Summary: <br> Recently, I joined the wonder folks at <a href="http://www.ibwave.com/ibwave-wi-fi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">iBwave</a> to deliver a webinar on the topic of designing Wi-Fi networks in Higher Education.<br> <br> <br> <br> Thanks so much iBwave for providing me the opportunity to discuss Wi-Fi design in front of their audience.<br> <br> <br> <br> The agenda items I cover in this webinar:<br> <br> <br> <br> * Challenges we see today* Approach to Wi-Fi design* Designing for capacity in large spaces* Wi-Fi 6 Considerations<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> To follow along with this episode you can <a href="https://www.cleartosend.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Designing-Wi-Fi-Networks-in-Higher-Education.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">download my slides</a>.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.slideshare.net/rowelldionicio/designing-wifi-networks-in-higher-education" title="Designing Wi-Fi Networks in Higher Education" target="_blank">Designing Wi-Fi Networks in Higher Education</a> from <a href="https://www.slideshare.net/rowelldionicio" target="_blank">Rowell Dionicio</a> <br> My slides<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Why must we design Wi-Fi? Why can’t we just install access points and call it a day? That’s something I go into with this webinar. But the short story is you don’t want to guess. We’re delivering a service that is used by thousands of people and whom rely on this service.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> And some of those people have over 30k clients per day. What if 1/3 of those people had poor Wi-Fi experiences and put in a ticket for each incident?<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> When it comes to Wi-Fi, we should follow a process or a lifecycle in order to continue delivering a good user experience. I go into each of these on the webinar.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> I provide examples from my own environments.<br> <br> <br> <br> Share my solutions to temporary Wi-Fi deployments for events.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> I also share some Bad-Fi<br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
