New Strategies for Wireless Management – In The Cloud



Wireless Data, brief history…

Marconi to Wifi – TDM to TCP/IP – Voice, Data, Video, Hybrid

Today’s WLAN = Wifi, 802.11abgn – 2.4GHz, 5GHzy , g ,

Wireless WAN = Cellular GSM/TDMA/CDMA, WiMAX, LTE, etc.

Also ‐ Licensed and Unlicensed Microwave: 900MHz, 2~6GHz, etc.

Point to Point versus Point to Multipoint versus Mesh networks

Different requirements for wireless Indoor versus Outdoor

d d i i l & iStandards versus Proprietary Designs – Pluses & Minuses



Wireless Management – Past, Present & Future…

Early designs had very little or no remote management

2nd Gen – CLI, Telnet then HTTP/Web Browser GUI, /

3rd Gen – Limited remote management via console & applications

4th Gen – Wireless controller; mostly hardware based

5th Gen – Remote Management, offsite – “Cloud”

AAA – Authentication, Access Control and Accounting

New Generation of Radio Hardware; Outdoor & Indoor – Ubiquiti Networks…
