Amazing Wireless Information

I’ve really been wrapping my mind around the information that we are getting daily from Airwave. I am amazed at the level of information that is being captured and reported. I don’t think we were expecting the number of devices connecting to our network when started our design plans over two years ago. IOS Devices are slightly ahead of Android but when you aggregate iPhone, iPads and iPods they are clearly the largest device we are seeing. Once you add OS X, Apple devices are clearly ahead of every other device.

So what can we take from this? The BYOD phenomenon is just beginning. Apple has captured and will continue to capture significant mind share.

The number speak for themselves.

Additionally we hit a peak today of 800 users.  Thats interesting after only being officially up an running for two weeks.

I can see the need to increase our public border ISP contract when we return from the holidays.

 

 

Juniper Rocks Our WAN

We recently completed our WAN Deployment with a BANG!!!!

We originally were only connecting all 5 of our remote sites with Verizon TLS Connections with Juniper Routers. Our integration partner rethought the deployment as we rolled out secondary connections with Comcast. We now have two routes to our main site via two distinct carriers. This was a major win for us in the connectivity space. I’m glad we choose Juniper for our WAN routers and replaced all of legacy Cisco and Nortel Routers.

Better DNS and DHCP

We are officially running away from our Nortel Netid DNS / DHCP solution to Infoblox.

We had planned to implement next year but BIND 4.X  vulnerabilities made it happen a.little sooner.  Plus the explosion of devices on our new Aruba Networks wireless.

Exciting times and the chance to provide better service.
