RE: Library capacity planning

Unless a specific use case we have generally planned for max 30 users per 5ghz Radio, taking numbers based on seats/room capacity. Taking into account dual 5ghz radios an AP can service upto 60 users. We "ignore device count" in a sense. We also plan with low power and have RSSI in accordance of course, ...

We've certainly been happy with oberon enclosures. Have never had to use them in a sports facility but they seem pretty solid. Have also considering working with our engineering school or to get some done or 3d printing.. depending what is available within your uni ------------- Jason Cook Technology ...

Yep same for us, this is not a technical issue so we refer them to OH&S. We worked with OH&S so they have a statement with references to info from WHO, the local governing body for RF and our Vendor equipment. If OH&S ask us to do something then we would sort a plan for the situation, we haven't ...

We take a pretty low effort attitude towards 2.4. Pretty much only 1 in 3 to 5 radios' will be enabled for 2.4 with alternating 1,6,11 channels and lowest power possible. Probably deal with around 4 jobs (30k users) per year for a 2.4 only device not having coverage in a spot, usually a stationary device ...

Thanks.. Certainly seems a common theme over the last few years. Secure W2 sound on the ball. Unfortunately right now that's not an option for us. No responses on using ISE's onboarding, so seems like everyone has steered clear of it. We are moving away from freeradius to ISE. The assumption is we'll ...

We've been using Cloudpath for a while now and have been happy with that for onboarding and managing EAP-TLS, continue to be very intrigued by the love for Secure W2 whenever these discussions come up. It does seem the popular choice. In a related note has anyone use Cisco ISE's Onboarding (in a ...

I have seen some weird things with iPhones in Prime. More and more often a user will show up with 2 or 3 iPhones all connected recently. Typically, there is 1 that seems to be the longterm MAC address. But every now and then there's a day where it used a different MAC, however appears to have returned ...

That is a great option. Thanks No installing of software or doing anything dodgy. And we can just ask the BYOD user to do it. Now if only Apple had this on OSX ....waiting on MAC address of Android phone that appears to be doing something similar... sigh -- Jason Cook Information Technology ...

Howdy All, Just hit the same problem with a Surface Pro.. Continual issues, jobs been bouncing around. I look at the MAC address and sure enough 888e I grabbed an old Windows 10 device. Connected it to our wifi. Used Technitium MAC changer to put 888e in.. it fails to connect, change to 878e.. ...

Thanks, Gertjan for getting to the bottom of this. We've got one of those curly 888e's, was about to go old school and hand out a USB Dongle to help workaround it . -- Jason Cook Information Technology and Digital Services The University of Adelaide, AUSTRALIA 5005 CRICOS Provider Number ...

Visitors who's require intranet get guest accounts in our IDM therefore use our primary dot1x like staff/students. For other short term visitors that just need internet we have a PSK network.

We generally have at lease 2/3's of 2.4 Ghz disabled in these kind of areas with remaining radios set to the lowest power. This does leave coverage gaps but it's 2.4 so that's fine...... The focus is on 5. On the odd occasion there's a 2.4 only device that needs more signal we identify the closest AP ...

We ran Cape for a while (now Aruba) and found it excellent. We only had 1, so it would hang out in our central place and we'd install it as required into places where issues were reported that we could not sort with Channel/Power config changes/Ekahau. It was easy to use. When it died (after 5+ years ...

This looks like a step in the right direction if I'm understanding it right. But what cost to get from where we are now there? E.g. What is the migration path for existing users? Do we go from $1595 annually to $2495 and that's it? Or is there an upgrade cost? Purchasing a new license could be a deal ...
