iPad Exploding Onto Enterprise Networks
iPad Network Considerations
- Network traffic types must be considered
- Other network users can’t have degraded access
- Critical traffic may need to be prioritized
- iPads and mobile devices must receive specific treatment from the network
- Device convenience and usability must be maintained
iPad apps are here for the Enterprise
- Traditional communication vendors entering the mobile apps fray
- Example: Avaya Flare is a VoIP, Unified Communications and Video capable client for the iPad
- Just one of many new applications targeting communications in the enterprise on the iPad
- Ease of use dramatically increases user communication and network use
- Traffic is leaving the wired network and will expose an underperforming WLAN infrastructures

iPad Network Considerations
Your wireless infrastructure must be ready
» 802.11n for high-density deployment» Adequate coverage of areas likely to see the iPad» Separate Guest networks isolated from local network» Automatic management of clients and access point radio settings:- assigning clients to the right 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz channel- power of access point and client power saving settings- channel selection- client roaming- and mesh routing
The iPad has no wired access – there is no other way!
