“Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen…” -- Henry David Thoreau, Walden When I first logged into the Meraki management platform (i.e. Meraki Cloud Controller – MCC) and spent a few minutes observing the high-level organization of their interface, the previous Thoreau quote came immediately to mind. As a staunch believer in simplifying life, I must say that Meraki took Thoreau’s words and applied this principle to their solution, including the GUI. |

In the beginning stages of my Wi-Fi journey, 802.11h was confusing. Just like everyone else, I was drowning in the world of faceless acronyms. Over time, the meaning of Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) started to take on a concrete form and I assimilated the term into my armory. If you’re feeling that way, I wanted to share some thoughts on DFS that should help to secure it in the memory as an important topic. |

All vendors must address a problem that I like to call the teeter-totter of GUI complexity. OK, so I just made that up, but here’s the gist. First, their solution should offer feature richness. Reaching the broadest possible customer market means having the most flexible configuration choices, right? Conversely, keeping customers happy and minimizing confusion means that GUI simplicity must be maximized. Impossibly complex interfaces are bad. Flexibility goes up, simplicity goes down. Simplicity goes up, flexibility goes down. Teeter. Totter. |

It would seem that 802.11n has initiated a parade that looks more like the running of the bulls at Pamplona than the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Chipset manufacturers, then vendors, are racing for their lives to capitalize on the technical goods introduced by 802.11n. This morning Intel announced a litany of new core processors, including four new Centrino 802.11n Wi-Fi chipsets, one of which integrates WiMAX. At face value, the basic tech specs don’t look much different than their previous set (Intel 4965, 5100, 5300, 5350) of 802.11n adapters, but I’m sure that performance and efficiency are improved. |

CWNP and Train Signal have partnered to offer the entire, official CWNA instructor led training course on DVD . Ed Liberman, CWNA/CWNT, leads you through the official Enteprise Wi-Fi Administration courseware in 16 videos that you can also use on your iPod. These videos are all in high quality AVI and WMV format, and the DVD set even comes with printable PDF instructor's notes that allow the user a quick easy reference to the instructors’ notes on the slides, and provides a place to make additional notes.
What great timing! In this crazy economy, only a few people have the budget to attend a 5-day instructor led training class, but now Train Signal has made the same class available on DVD for just a few hundred dollars.
The new Train Signal CWNA DVD Training is the only CWNP authorized DVD training product.
Check it out here. Read the Train Signal press release here. |
