Tristan: Show me one graph of one AP that shows 16 Mbps of usage over 5 minutes...as the others have said, it's not a real concern. Very few WLANs shows aggregate traffic rates above 1 Gbps, and those that do have many more than 500 APs. Frank -Original Message- From: The EDUCAUSE Wirel

The charts look great -What kind of software do you use to collect data? I could not find a report program on WCS.Someone did suggest product from Great Bay Software, Inc. We are now using Cisco product such as WCS, WLC, and all access points.We are switching Cisco's NAC to Juniper

Yea, the only downside, to get 802.3at power, you have to goto a different model switch, but we haven't seen a need for that yet. On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 1:52 PM, Pham, Loc wrote: > Thanks Mike, that is exactly why we are going with the 4200. > > > > Loc > > > -

Exactly right. Most user traffic is bursty in nature. Another way to look at this is your Internet connection. I'm guessing that if you use the simple mathematics on your Internet connection, the per user bandwidth will come out even worse. Pete Morrissey From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Const

I've got about 90 1131's / 1142n's on Juniper EX4200's, no issues. It's all standard 802.3af. I just checked the spec on the AP3500 (which is the only Clean Air Accesspoint that I'm aware of at the moment) and it's listed as a 802.3af device. As a plus, the EX4200 with the large power supply can

"8 Gbps / 500 access points = 16 Mbps bandwidth per AP!" The assumption here is all 500 AP are active at the same time consuming 16Mbps of the 8 Gbps bandwidth. That is not the real world. >>> On 3/29/2011 at 10:34 AM, Tristan Rhodes wrote: I don't know any details about pricing, but one benefit

Data rates and some Androids (mainly Verizon)

Greetings fellows, we had been having trouble with some Androids associating on our WPA2-Enterprise SSID. It turns out that some of them (Verizon ones, as far as I know so far), won't even associate with an access point unless the 802.11b 11Mbps data rate is enabled and in the beacon. Re-enabling

At the same time, on the topic of saturation/oversubscription... I am seeing nothing that approaches saturation on our old WiSMs with 4 Gig uplink since putting 150 busy 11n APs on them. Also- if most traffic goes to Internet, and if you do rate-limiting or whatever at Internet edge, it is wort

I don't know any details about pricing, but one benefit of the 5500 appliances is that you can upgrade the number of access-points in increments of 25, while on the WISM2 the smallest upgrade is 100 access points. More importantly, I am hoping the WISM2 uses a 20 Gbps connection to the backplan
