Good morning, Our facilities group is looking at doing a pilot project of OBX's all-in-one lighting solution. From first glance, it looks like their wireless is iffy at best. Has anyone worked with these folks or know anything about them? Regards, Eric Barnett Eric Barnett Communication Serv

Prime Infrastructure Validated Alternatives

This comes up on occasion, and I'm hoping to hear actual cases of users, versus "have you heard about blah blah blah?" For large Cisco WLAN environments on the list, is anyone happily and effectively using non-homegrown wireless management other than Prime Infrastructure? Regards, Lee

Using it yes. Happily, no. Much better than it was (I am told), but leaves a lot to be desired. “A work in Progress” would be my summation. Ian Lyons Network Engineer Rollins College From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On

Nope. For a minute I thought it was similar to Philip's Connected lighting (http://www.usa.lighting.philips.com/systems/connected-lighting.html). But that use case is a PoE light buib that is also a sensor. I've never seen someone embedding AP's into lighting fixtures. On Tue, Jan 10, 2017 at 1

Using HP/Aruba/Airwave AMPs (3) to support 3 MPLS areas on campus. Reporting is much better than PI (at least, the last time I looked, which has been awhile). Management of Cisco WLC & AP configs is good, but not great. Mainly, this is due to them not keeping up with the latest WLC code changes.

Thanks, John. Way back when Airwave was its own company, and did fair amount of testing AMP for articles I wrote for Network Computing. I think I may have touched it once after Aruba bought Airwave (man, oh man I was hoping Cisco would buy them as an early WCS customer). So… I feel like I have a

[WIRELESS-LAN] Design question

2017-01-10 Thread Schuette, David
For budgetary planning and rough expectation for number of APs to install. We are currently looking to start upgrading our buildings to AC wave 2, and was wondering for high density what figure you use to calculate for number of AP's to building rough square footage. I have been told by Aerohiv

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Design question

2017-01-10 Thread Chris Adams (IT)
I would discourage the use of estimating by square footage alone. For planning preferences, in high density areas (classroom buildings, auditoriums) we usually shoot for 1 AP for every 30 seats capacity according to fire marshal's capacities. This has proven to be exponentially more accurate to

It's hard to tell how often they work on the Cisco parts of the product. I do know that they accepted a bug that I found recently -- radio levels and the corresponding dBm levels were incorrect, even varying between multiple devices of the same mode. For instance, the power level of a 2700i AP c

We have Airwave and PI. I started using PI when it was WCS and was very pleased with it. I like PI and where it has come, but it lacks in doing what Cisco states or I feel it should do. Constantly finding new bugs is always painful. The Airwave deployment is much smaller, but I find it to be sm
