What can you do with a controller based centralized wireless networks of today? Read on to find out the features and functionality provided by controller based wireless (Wi-Fi) networks for...
This post gives an introduction to the two types of Antennas used in Wireless Networks – Directional Antennas and Omni-directional Antennas. We also have a look at in-built antennas and...
This article gives an introduction to the software applications that manage multi-vendor access points, controllers and other Wi-Fi devices on a huge disparate network. We look at the user, device...
This article discusses the difference between Stand-Alone Access Points (Thick) and Controller based Access Points (Thin) in a wireless network. We discuss the basic structural difference, authentication, radio management, security,...
This article gives an introduction to the Wi-Fi based RFID Tags, how the location of assets can be identified by the combination of Enterprise Wi-Fi and RFID technologies, what can...
This article explores the ways in which the guests can be given access to wireless networks, whether they could be authenticated, whether their access can be restricted to certain services...
This article introduces the QoS mechanisms followed by a wireless network like WMM(Wireless Multi-Media) and WMM-SA(Wireless Multi-Media Scheduled Access) which are both standards based and help wireless networks to reliably...
How safe is an organization (like a bank) which has prevented the use of Wi-Fi systems in its premises? That’s what we are going to see in this article. We...
This article explains the IEEE 802.11n standard for wireless (Wi-Fi) networks, what is the bandwidth supported by this standard, what is the distance covered by access points employing 802.11n, the...
This articles gives a brief description of Femtocells – what they are, why the cellular industry is excited with this concept, what could be the benefit to the consumer and...
This article attempts to understand what kind of threats a Wi-Fi network could face, especially given the fact that even a person going on a road nearby could reach the...
This article elucidates on what is Wi-Max technology, what are the basic parameters for Wi-Max, bandwidth and coverage for Wi-Max, how Wi-Max is presently being used, how it can be...
This article is about Wireless Mesh networks – how they eliminate the wires that connect to the wireless access point, applications of a mesh network, how mesh networks are formed...
