Upgrading the Wireless Network One AP at a Time
Kevin Lane
This presentation will go over the challenges of upgrading a wireless network that was previously designed for coverage rather than density. I was required to maintain the current coverage, but also allow for future expansion of that coverage with limited or no changes in AP placement after the initial upgrades. In addition, the benefits of moving from an autonomous architecture to a thin client architecture has made it much easier to monitor, maintain and troubleshoot wireless problems.

I worked in the NOC of a major ISP in the United States maintaining the connections and routes between all of our POPs and keeping enterprise customers connected. I have had my CCNA and MCSE, though both are due for renewal. I went back to University and obtained my Bachelors in Computer Science from James Cook University, graduating in 2008. Since then, I have worked in the Network Infrastructure group at JCU since Feb 2009 maintained the wired and wireless networks. |
