Editor's Notes
- #3 This is where 802.11ac Wave 2 comes in.
- #4 You might be thinking, we just heard about 802.11ac Wave 1, why Wave 2? Here’s one way to look at it. This is what things looked like back in what we’ll call the dawn of wireless. When businesses first started installing wireless networks, there weren’t all that many devices needing to use them—and those that did didn’t require much network capacity. Then we entered the age of mobility density and the idea of the “all wireless office.” As the default primary access network, the wireless LAN became more taxed, and we needed improved technology like 802.11n and then the first wave of 802.11ac.
- #5 So why is Wave 2 even faster? Several key technology improvements provide a big boost in performance—up to 80% faster speeds than Wave 1. Let’s take a brief look at each of them.
- #6 A second key Wave 2 improvement is the option to use 160-MHz channel widths. That’s double what we saw with Wave 1 technology. Here you can see the potential throughput at 160-MHz channel widths. The top speeds depend on the whether the AP supports 80-MHz or 160-MHz channels, as well as whether the wireless client devices tapping your network support Wave 2. We expect that initial Wave 2 APs and clients will support 80-MHz channel widths.
- #9 In that spirit, I’d like to introduce the 5520 and 8540 WLAN Controllers. They have high-throughput options to handle big Wi-Fi traffic loads that, depending on your volume, aren’t too small or too big but are just right. These two controllers can aggregate port traffic to 40 Gbps and can accommodate from 1,500 to 6,000 access points, and from 20,000 to 64,000 clients, respectively. Each has three deployment modes: Centralized mode, which forwards all data traffic through the controller so you can see and monitor all traffic in and out FlexConnect mode, which allows you to choose centralized data forwarding through the controller or distributed data forwarding out at the access points on a per-AP basis Mesh mode, which forwards traffic from AP to AP to create an over-the-air backhaul network that accommodates longer transmission distances
- #10 Both the 5520 and 8540 controllers include the rich feature set of Cisco AireOS 8.1, the latest version of operating system software for Cisco controllers and access points. 8.1 adds important RF excellence capabilities for next generation wireless networks. The three key benefits of 8.1 include ease of use, enhanced troubleshooting, and, perhaps most important, enhanced Cisco High-Density Experience features. All other WLAN controllers in the Cisco Aironet family are upgradable to 8.1 (or will ship new with 8.1), so that the features and capabilities across your controller population are all in sync.
- #11 Starting with CUWN AireOS release 8.1 the WLAN controller UI has been updated with new HTML 5 dashboards providing enhanced monitoring and troubleshooting. What makes the new WLAN Controller UI so different is that we have added an HTML5 intuitive front end without having to completely abandon the familiar / Classic UI. The rich set of visual capabilities that expose Cisco RF excellence can be used to illustrate our advantages over our competitors in performance and connectivity and we are able to expose the suite of functionality called High Density Experience which as yet has not been replicated by any of the competition. Users can easily toggle between the classic UI and new dashboards. Using an HTML5 UI also allowed for a new mobile application for both Apple IOS and Android extending WLAN Controller UI support to millions of mobile devices. What are the top 10 things to demonstrate in the new WLAN Controller UI? User Friendly Interface - The HTML5 format features a new and better database with enhanced forms, search boxes, and sorting capabilities which is also mobile device friendly and allowed us to deliver a feature rich mobile app at the same time Advanced Classic UI – Easily switch between NEW UI and Classic UI. With over a decade of development and familiarity the entire advanced UI structure is maintained for advanced controls. Network Summary – Simple and intuitive view of the AP’s, Operating systems, Applications, rogues, interference and Clients Client search capabilities - Quickly drill down to specific client details. AP search capabilities - Quickly drill down to specific AP details. Detailed Client Sorting – Easily sort any field in the client detail list. Detailed AP Sorting – Easily sort any field in the AP detail list Wireless AP Performance – Highlight channel utilization, client load, interference and Coverage. Wireless Client Performance – Highlight signal strength, signal quality, connection rate, connectivity state and failures WLAN Controller Best Practice – Finish demo with review of automated controller “best Practice” assessment, which highlights key feature functionality available.

- #13 Important things to note on the AP detail; AP performance summary AP Details Switch AP view
- #14 Important things to note in AP Wireless Dashboard Top Channel Utilization - 2.4GHz, 5GHz % of problem AP’s Top Client Load – 2.4GHz, 5GHz and overall AP load Top Interference - 2.4GHz, 5GHz interference thresholds Bottom Coverage – Bottom AP’s experiencing coverage hole detection
- #15 One of the most powerful aspects of the new WLAN Controller UI is the ability to view if Cisco best practices have been implemented. Walk the audience through Cisco WLAN capabilities as the feature and benefits are described within the UI Infrastructure Best Practice Security Best Practice RF Management Best Practice Key area’s to spend time include: Application Visibility – packet inspection with NBAR2 protocol PACS Local device Profiling – Local device database updated with every release Controller HA – Industries only Stateful solution for seamless failover Rouge AP Threshold – Limit rogue to only the most serious threats Client Exclusion – Eliminate Brute Force password attacks Login Policies – Restrict number of devices a user can log-in
- #18 Cisco Mobility Express is an on-premise, solution for quickly and easily deploying a robust Wi-Fi network. It’s a no-cost module for Cisco Aironet 1850 Series Access points, which provide superior coverage and performance with 802.11ac Wave 2 support. Using Mobility Express, one AP can become the wireless network’s control point and scale to manage up to 25 APs. A Setup Wizard and 3-step over-the-air configuration process deploys all APs at once, so you’re up and running in no time.
- #19 The Setup Wizard reduces deployment time to about five minutes. A graphical interface walks you through the simple steps, using intuitive icons and pop-up windows that show you what needs to be done. You can set up your wireless LAN in just three steps: 1. Connect via any wireless device 2. Configure multiple APs simultaneously with Setup Wizard 3. Implement best practice templates with advanced features, right out of the box Once the network is deployed, the analytics dashboard lets you see all your APs and applications and troubleshoot the network.

- #28 Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences (or CMX) transforms your network into an experience engine. An experience engine that delivers dynamic, relevant content to mobile end-users. This connection between physical venue and user opens the door to improving user experiences and optimizing operations. Cisco CMX is based on 3 primary activities: detect, connect, and engage. First, as an end user carrying a mobile device approaches your venue, the network detects the presence and location of the device leveraging visibility of Wi-Fi location, BLE and video. After the end user receives notification of available Wi-Fi access and services, that individual can then connect to the network securely. Once visitors have access, you can engage them with app based mobile engagement delivering context-aware experiences for the venue to develop a relationship There’s an overarching activity across all three activities. That’s analytics, and it’s a key component of Cisco CMX. The solution sources location data from devices that have been detected and connected to the network, and it analyzes engagement opportunities from that data.
- #30 All mobile experiences rely on the quality of location. The degree of accuracy you get in knowing where people and devices are determines the quality and usefulness of your data. Cisco has been committed to delivering location excellence for the last 8 years. We’ve developed a suite of hyperlocation technologies that includes: FastLocate Technology, which enables the Wi-Fi network to pick up signals from visitors’ devices more quickly, giving you more data points. This way, you get more data on visitors’ paths through your venue. FastLocate tells you more about where people began and ended their visits and where they went in-between. And Cisco has a new Hyperlocation Module for our high-speed access points. It is a sensor that wraps around Cisco Aironet 802.11ac access points and helps you pinpoint Wi-Fi users’ locations much more accurately than previously. BLE Visualization & Management: Using Bluetooth Low Energy sensors, which are dispersed much more liberally through the environment than the access points, you can pick up much more granular data. You might, for example, accurately locate customers within an aisle and push contents based on nearby products.
- #32 This is one of the most important slides of this presentation… Cisco is often accused of being too complex, but rarely is credit given to us where we have made things simpler to operate… What this slide shows you is that Cisco has driven the innovation of Wireless from Autonomous Access Points all the way up to being the first manufacturer to bring 802.11ac to market Engineering a Wireless Network is like engineering an Air Traffic Control System at a national level. You must create “Self-Learning, Self-Protecting, Self-Healing, and Self-Optimizing” capabilities to maximize usage and even more importantly avoid collisions – and it is important for all of you to understand that a Wireless Network does not operate in the same manner as a Wired Network – a Wired Network uses a highly predictable cable and tolerates some level of packet collision – whereas in a Wireless Network the “highly unpredictable air is the network” and packet collisions are not tolerated just like an Air Traffic Control System Cisco was first to develop the “Self-Learning” capability for Wireless with our suite of Radio Resource Management (RRM) capabilities that everyone else has followed and the IEEE has integrated in to the 802.11 standard… but we have the original patents for Dynamic Channel Allocation, Transmit Power Adjustment, Coverage Hole Detection and Mitigation, Load Balancing, etc… Cisco was first to develop the “CleanAir Self-Protecting” capability for Wireless interference that nobody else has been able to replicate 6+ years after its initial launch… Cisco can Detect, Identify, Classify, and Mitigate interference whereas the competition can only Detect and Identify, which means only Cisco can automatically reconfigure the Wireless Network based on a calculated zone of interference or impact to preserve channel capacity for client usage… Digital Enterprises are “Always On” businesses and in support of that reality Cisco was first to develop the “Stateful Switchover (SSO) Self-Healing” capability for every operating level of a Wireless Network - WLAN Controller, Access Point, and Client… only Cisco can deliver a non-stop Wireless Client Session to the Digital Enterprise and the competition has not been able to catch up in the 3+ years since we introduced this capability Since Wireless is the Primary Connectivity for the Digital Enterprise every Digital Enterprise is “High Density”. In support of that reality Cisco was first to develop the “Self-Optimizing” suite of functionality called High Density Experience (HDX) for 802.11ac networks that nobody else has been able to replicate 2+ years after initial launch… Aruba will claim that their ClientMatch is the same as our Optimized Roaming and Ruckus will claim their BeamFlex is that same as our ClientLink, but neither of them have replicated the rest of the HDX suite of functionality - CleanAir, Turbo Performance, Dynamic Bandwidth Selection, RF Noise Suppression or even our latest addition to HDX called Flexible DFS for improved Radar Avoidance operation… With the recent implementation of a simplified installation process and a new Dashboard GUI and Smartphone application for our WLAN Controllers Cisco is simpler to install, manage, and when coupled with all the other innovations we have brought to market we greatly Simplify IT Operations under the FAST IT vision
