Since November 2011 three more networking professionals have earned the coveted CWNE certification. That makes 89. So why are we just now writing about these three Wi-Fi experts?
I spent the latter half of last week in sunny (compared to Michigan) San Jose at the Wi-Fi Mobility Symposium and Wireless Field Day. Along with 11 other independent delegates, I had the chance to engage several leading WLAN vendors in a fresh dose of technical discussion.
The DoD Directive 8570 does not even contain the word “wireless.”
The US Dept of Defense Directive 8570, which provides guidance and procedures for the training, certification, and management of all government employees who conduct Information Assurance functions in assigned duty positions, is being upgraded (replaced) by the National Initiative Cybersecurity Education (N.I.C.E.). NICE does contain ‘wireless’, ‘wi-fi’, and even ‘wlan’, but it needs some clarification, and the NICE team is accepting comments THIS WEEK through Jan 27, 2012.
It is upon us! Wireless Tech Field Day 2 is this week. Our own Marcus Burton (@marcusburton) will be presenting on Gigabit Wi-Fi and moderating the Wi-Fi Symposium.
Congratulations to Eight-O-Two Technology Solutions, CWNP’s Authorized Learning Partner of the Year for 2011.
Celebrating my newfound predilection for short blog posts, I am compelled to share this little tidbit of humor from the 802.11ac draft specification.
If Wi-Fi is your game, you don’t want to miss the Tech Field Day Wi-Fi Mobility Symposium on Wednesday, January 25. Industry expert (CWNE and CCIE-Wireless) Andrew VonNagy, will be co-moderating the event with an industry slug, yours truly. Expect some rousing, friendly debate, loads of pertinent information, and interactive Q&A to address everything you want to know.
Come one, come all. There’s a new bi-weekly WLAN podcast/website called the No Strings Attached Show. The website just launched and the first podcast was posted last week. Consider the show a distributed effort with contributions from these fine individuals.
The title is deceptive. Now that I have you thinking about WLAN controllers and fast secure roaming, my goal in this short post is to point out why WLAN controllers do not sufficiently address fast secure roaming. Why must I write such an article? Because in the past six months, I’ve read article after article claiming that the cure to fast secure roaming problems is a WLAN controller. IT IS NOT! I have nothing against controllers per se; I just want to set the record straight. My point is actually twofold.
