There are many "knobs and dials" on the design and configuration of a wireless LAN. Does yours need a tune up? From the time a network is first designed, variables in the RF environment will shift, and the design and configuration aspects of the network infrastructures will change. This often leads to unexpected poor performance across the enterprise, or within different physical areas of the sites. In this webinar, we will investigate these varying factors that affect WLAN performance, such as coverage, adjacent channel interference and user density, and will review methods for proactively detecting and correcting problems which may arise for users.

 

Join industry visionary and AirMagnet CTO and Founder, Chia-Chee Kuan to discuss best practices for securing wireless LANs.

The wireless network exposes organizations to a new breed of threats and operational problems that are different from wired networks. Rogue access via Wi-Fi can provide an easy entry to the organization's entire network. Additionally wireless end-users, APs and their traffic can be directly exposed to a variety of external dangers including, Denial of Service attacks, phishing, identity spoofing and hundreds of readily available hacking tools that can cause disruptions of service.

 

Modern healthcare organizations using and expanding deployments of voice over wireless LAN devices often struggle with call quality and other problems that can impact health care professionals' productivity. Typically these problems result from issues with the underlying wireless network, which is not always fully optimized to deliver the highest performance for voice devices.
