Understanding the Concept of Client Health Score
 939 KB
 |
As your Wi-Fi deployment grows, day-to-day management can become more and more challenging. In this solution brief we'll provide an overview of Aerohive's new Client Health Score feature which cuts through volumes of data to show you the overall health of clients in an “at-a-glance” format, then enables you to drill down if you see a specific problem. We'll look at the statistics compiled to generate the Client Health Score's simple "green/yellow/red" view, and discuss the use of the Client Health Score in our new TeacherView feature.

TeacherView: Giving Teachers Control of Wireless Computing in the Classroom
335 KB
 |
As 1:1 laptop programs become more common and as curricula allow students more access to computing and personalization of their computers, teachers have found themselves becoming both the first line of network support for their students and the content traffic cop, which draws them away from their central role as educators. This solution brief will describe Aerohive's TeacherView application, which provides a very compelling tool to enable the network control teachers need to make 1:1 programs succeed.

Aerohive Private PSK 346 KB
 |
Because 802.1X requires the installation of a software client, it is difficult or impossible to use on unmanaged devices not owned by the enterprise, such as those of guests, students, subcontractors or the like. Aerohive’s patent-pending Private PSK provides the ease of PSK with many of the advantages of 802.1X solutions.

Wi-Fi Provides Rx for Healthcare Challenges 334 KB
 |
The healthcare environment naturally lends itself to wireless networking, given the inherently mobile nature of physicians, nurses, orderlies, and others who move from bed to bed or examining room to examining room, ministering to patients. This paper looks at how healthcare providers are using wireless LANs creatively to improve patient care and to realize much-needed cost efficiencies. It also discusses the primary challenges health organizations face in their deployments and offers up solutions for successfully addressing them.

A Practical Approach to Wireless 2.0 881 KB
 |
Creating “Wi-Fi that works”, even with minimal requirements, is a tall order given the breadth of client and application types that must perform well over the wireless infrastructure, but when adding in the speed and complexity of 802.11n, a variety of demanding applications, high-density environments, and tricky deployment scenarios, controller-based vendors cannot live up to their promises of Ethernet-like determinism. This whitepaper defines what a Wireless 2.0 network is, and the importance of a controller-less architecture for performance, reliability, scalability, security, and flexibility.

Optimizing Network and Client Performance through Dynamic Airtime Scheduling 547 KB
 |
Wireless is a shared medium, meaning that all clients and neighboring APs compete for the same limited bandwidth. In addition, each client's speed varies depending on the protocol it is running (802.11 a/b/g/n) and the signal strength, interference and noise it is experiencing. This paper reviews key issues that affect wireless LAN performance, and explains how Aerohive's new Dynamic Airtime Scheduling can solve these problems.

Building Secure Wireless LANs 249 KB
 |
Security of a wireless network still ranks as one of the largest concerns of IT professionals planning to roll out an enterprise wireless LAN. Today the security concerns of the legacy protocols have been largely eliminated and best practices for secure deployment have been developed allowing many wireless deployments to be arguably more secure than their wired counterparts.

The Network Impact of 802.11n 480 KB
 |
802.11n promises to bring revolutionary advances in bandwidth, throughput, and reliability to the wireless LAN. It will also have a perhaps unforeseen impact on the wired network, as well. Bandwidth, throughput and reliability will now become an end-to-end network problem, particularly in cases where the WLAN is deployed as network infrastructure rather than as an overlay.

802.11n Technology Primer 788 KB
 |
In less than a decade, wireless LANs have evolved from a niche technology useable only by a few specialized applications to the default media of choice for millions of businesses and consumers. And WLANs continue to evolve. The latest generation of high-speed wireless LAN technology, based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Draft 802.11n standard, are now becoming available.
