WLAN

Thanks to new mobile technologies, work happens everywhere today. It might be responding to email on the morning train or uploading a customer contract during a cross-town cab ride. Your workers need this level of connectivity to compete. At the same time, you likely face unprecedented budgetary challenges.

iControl provides the means by which F5's BIG-IP platform can be automated, integrated, and flexible such that it can adapt in real-time to changing network and application infrastructure conditions inside and outside the data center. Whether you are building out a new infrastructure or adapting to new technology, using iControl can enable unprecedented levels of control over and visibility into the application delivery process.

This paper examines both the centralized WLAN switch architecture and the optimized WLAN architecture, so that the wireless network choice an organization makes today will protect its investment and allow it to experience the substantial benefits of 802.11 for years to come.

Learn what Forrester has uncovered in their latest report on Enteprise Mobility trends. During the past two years, Forrester has seen the number of enterprise mobility inquiries increase nearly 55%, jumping to 550-plus inquiries in 2008. In the past year, we have seen a spike in the number of inquiries focused on mobile network architecture, new types of mobile devices, and deploying vertically focused mobile applications that address the needs of workers in certain industries (e.g., retail, transportation, and healthcare).

Unlike Wi-Fi access, 3G mobile broadband is available anywhere users have a mobile phone signal-from. From taxis, to trains, to remote stretches of road - your workforce will have access to critical data. If your company is even considering about deploying mobile broadband to its workforce, read this guide now!

Every minute counts in a small company and wireless networks are a powerful tool for boosting productivity and encouraging information sharing. With untethered access to documents, emails, applications and other network resources, employees can roam where they need to and have constant access to the tools required to do their jobs.

Wireless networking is an essential productivity tool for today's mobile workforce. With wireless networking, you and your employees can stay connected to your company's information resources virtually anytime, anywhere.

This free white paper clearly explains how to optimize existing networks for Voice Over Wi-Fi (VoFi). Learn how to fight both known and hidden sources of RF voice interference; how to prioritize traffic flows, so voice always comes first; how properly planning your WLAN can dramatically improve handset battery life; how to arrange for roaming without annoying dropouts; and more.

Craig Mathias, Principal of the Farpoint Group, explores the advent of cooperative control, an innovative new class of wireless infrastructure from Aerohive Networks. Aerohive’s cooperative control architecture gives you all of the benefits of autonomous access points and controller-based infrastructures, without the high OPEX or CAPEX associated with either approach. Cooperative control architecture represents an innovative approach to wireless LAN systems, one that incorporates a number of interesting features and corresponding benefits.

Yesterday’s fat access points and legacy wireless LANs typically can’t handle mission-critical, real-time applications, nor do they have a migration path to 802.11n. Aerohive Networks has developed a new controller-less architecture that provides an innovative way to handle tomorrow’s wireless challenges – like voice over WLAN and migrating to 802.11n – without costing you a fortune. This paper discusses the benefits of this approach and the key underlying technologies of cooperative control, including best path forwarding and policy enforcement at the edge.

Are you looking to reduce the operational cost of your existing wireless LAN, and to make it support mission-critical, real-time applications and 802.11n? At the same time, are you challenged with the cost and complexity associated with most next-generation wireless LAN architectures? Check out the enterprise-class, cost-effective new cooperative control architecture from Aerohive Networks. In this real-world case study, you’ll see how Aerohive Networks' cooperative control architecture combines the linear cost modeling of autonomous APs and the operational advantages of controller-based approaches.

For many wireless broadband network operators, the term "unlicensed reliability" is seen as an oxymoron. For many, the idea of building a high-speed network in the unlicensed band isn't a good one. A great deal has been said about crowded frequencies, self-interference and costly network rips. About how microwaving popcorn can cause interference. About disgruntled and perplexed customers. And ex-customers.

This white paper will explore what security challenges wireless networks present, suggest best practices to ensure Wireless LAN security, and demonstrate how AirDefense Enterprise, a Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention System, can help you define, monitor and enforce your wireless security policy.

This paper presents the security risks inherit in wireless networks and explores the technical, functional and return on investment requirements needed for a monitoring solution for companies looking to protect and fortify their wireless networks from rogue wireless devices.

This paper outlines the specific elements of wireless LAN security (perimeter control, access control, date protection, and monitoring) and WLAN management (configuration, fault diagnostics, network usage, and policy enforcement). Reader will gain a keen understanding of how to effectively lockdown a wireless LAN and manage it for peak performance.

This document outlines how hackers are exploiting vulnerabilities in 802.11 wireless LANs and describes the widely available hacking tools. As a collection of already published risks to wireless LANs, this white paper is written to inform IT security managers of what they are up against.

This white paper is designed to guide network administrators and security managers to design, implement, and enforce wireless LAN security policies that enable every organization to fully reap the benefits of wireless LANs without experiencing undue management pains and security holes.

Learn how to balance the positive and negative effects of memory utilization in virtual infrastructures to better handle system workload and priority--while improving server utilization

Offshoring Is a Cost Effective Solution to Your IT Needs

A WirelessHART gateway with WLAN connection means better communication, flexibility and increased efficiency for your HART sensor network.

New technologies emerge every day, but not all of them pay off, and adopting them too early might be risky for your organization.

Ultra High Speed Internet, TV and local/long distance phone services combined into 1 superior service.

This FREE brief details what you need to know when evaluating wireless solutions.

Today's office is now anywhere that a user can get an Internet connection, a PC on a business partner's network, a handheld at a WiFi hotspot, an airport kiosk, or a computer on a home WiFi network. But secure access is not the only driving business factor remote access must be easy to use and administer as well.

This paper explains the numerous places where VoWLAN can go to work, why most offerings fail to make it work, and how only Meru Networks' standard-based solution puts the power of VoWLAN to work at enterprise-scale.
