Biography
I have worked for the University of Exeter's Network Team in a number of roles. Initially focused on the University's ResNet, before moving more towards support for the Campus LAN where I became Operations Team Leader. For the past few years I have specialised in 802.11 WLANs and am now responsible for planning, designing and organising delivery of the University of Exeter's WLAN services. I am very passionate about technology and believe wireless data communications technologies are going to be ever more important - Especially as we embrace the likes of Google Glasses and The Internet of Things. Outside of work I enjoy walking and training 'Nelson' my Labrador Retriever, Sci-Fi and PC gaming. Recently I have celebrated the birth of my first child, Benjamin - which trumps all that other stuff! ;)
Abstract
Critical Design Considerations for High Density Wi-Fi
Customer expectations for Wi-Fi performance at an all-time high. Meeting these within the limits of current technologies can be a significant challenge. When these expectations are paired with a demand for high capacity the problems a Wi-Fi engineer face are compounded. Halls of Residences are perhaps the most extreme case of this' with the modern fee paying student expecting a flawless service without the hassle of plugging anything in.
This presentation aims to expose some of the design elements critical to ensuring your Wireless LAN meets the expectations of customers. Topics include, Capacity Planning, Site Survey Techniques and Advanced WLAN Features
