Surveys shouldn't just be for pre-deployment any longer. This webinar covers how to use AirMagnet's SurveyPro to make sure your Wireless LAN design meets or exceeds the initial design parameters. You wouldn't turn over a cable install without validating your cable plant - so don't turn over a Wireless LAN without first 'proving' it meets your design goals. We'll cover what some industry standard goals are for a variety of WLAN types - and how you can measure, validate, and report these for your Wireless networks. Presented by Keith Parsons - who's taught thousands of people to maximize the use of the AirMagnet SurveyPro software. Come spend an hour and learn the best practices of doing validation surveys.

 

Your organization’s wireless LAN has evolved from a nice-to-have convenience to a must-have, mission-critical key element in your IT infrastructure. Keeping this resource available, productive, and efficient is in turn vital to maintaining the productivity and efficiency of the users who depend upon reliable, high-performance information access. A wireless LAN assurance system is consequently today an essential element in any enterprise or organization. Providing a broad range of capabilities in security, integrity, regulatory compliance, and more, assurance systems can be thought of as the system that verifies and extends the operations of the WLAN itself. One question, though: should assurance functions be integrated into the WLAN system, or provisioned as a separate capability? This webinar will explore both alternatives, and also review the latest developments in this vital field. Join wireless analyst Craig Mathias of Farpoint Group and Greg Rayburn of Fluke Networks for a fast-paced and informative look at what is an increasingly-important core element in organizational networking success.

Wi-Fi client devices are more easily exploited outside the office, when connected to public networks that lack the benefits of enterprise security. Without proper precautions, Wi-Fi clients can be exploited out on the road, carrying vulnerabilities back with them to corporate HQ. Hackers can then use those vulnerable Wi-Fi clients as footholds for launching attacks against enterprise networks, without having to plant rogue access points inside private offices or crack enterprise wireless LAN passwords or keys. Furthermore, proliferation of new wireless devices (tablets, smart phones, etc.) means that unfamiliar and potentially-dangerous Wi-Fi clients are literally popping up everywhere, throughout the workplace. Old practices that required IT to know about and control every single Wi-Fi client device have become a losing game. Instead, today's pervasive wireless usage means that enterprises must adopt security policies, practices, and defenses that can meet the challenges of this dynamic environment. Attend this webcast to learn how to protect your corporate network against vulnerable and potentially compromised Wi-Fi clients, including steps that you can take to enable safe enterprise WLAN access by new devices, best practices for protecting those devices when they're away from the office, and practical techniques for managing risk posed by unfamiliar devices.

 

Planning, deploying, and optimizing wireless LANs requires in-depth knowledge and understanding of the wireless environment, including AP placement, sources of channel interference, rogue devices, vulnerabilities, and much more.

In this webinar, we'll demonstrate how to design or expand a WLAN considering: *Voice over WLAN readiness; *Security; *Actual end-user performance.

 

A virtual AP is a great feature for consumers and home users to set up personal networks and share wireless network connections. However, this is a serious problem for enterprise networks. With the proliferation of mobile Wi-Fi enabled devices, IT managers already struggle with eliminating rogue devices, Ad-hoc networks and unauthorized clients. Now Windows 7 makes it even easier for individuals to create rogue networks that bypass enterprise security measures and violate security policies - undetectable by traditional security systems.

 

Spectrum analyzers have lacked innovation for some time. At the high-end they are expensive, require a cardbus slot and provide a myopic view on solving WLAN network performance problems due to interference. At the low-end, users have a flexible form factor at a low cost, but unfortunately receive "get what you pay for" functionality. This webinar will introduce AirMagnet Spectrum XT - a Professional RF spectrum analysis solution (in a USB form factor) that leverages WLAN information so users can directly visualize the impact of RF issues on WLAN performance. The webinar will feature a 15 minute demo on the solution.
