Heavy Networking - Un pódcast de Packet Pushers - Viernes

Categorías:


Today’s Weekly Show episode returns to the University of Idaho, where we continue the real-world network design session we started in Weekly Show 418.



Guests Brian Jemes, Network Manager; and Mike Rusca, Network Engineer are back. We’ve also invited Jake Snyder, a mobility solutions architect.



Today’s episode focuses on the university’s wireless architecture and design.



We discuss how wireless has gone from a best-effort, don’t-count-on-it medium to an absolute requirement for faculty, staff, and students. In fact, wireless accounts for approximately 80% of devices on campus.



The conversation touches on the role of 5Ghz and small cell sizes, PoE, how the next generation of APs will affect WLAN design and operations, and more.
