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, 5GHz

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
