A presentation from Jisc's wireless mobility event on 27 February 2019.

1. Mobility event roundup
Mark O’Leary, Jisc. Aston, February 2017

2. Outcomes from discussion
» Choice of suppliers
› Quality/responsiveness of support
› Pre-shared key onboarding valuable
› Cost is key
› Cloud analytics to improve config

3. Outcomes from discussion
» dedicated wireless career path
› What does dedicated mean? (maybe 80% of effort)
› Value of vendor-neutral certification, avoid lock-in
› Funding constraints are pushing towards a blended role
› Hoping to introduce a dedicated role out of blended
efforts divided over multiple staff

4. Outcomes from discussion
» Ideas for Jisc services
› Wireless surveying service
› Advice around building regs and design, potential
impact on suitability for WLAN in new builds
› More information on 802.11ax, WPA-3, WiFi-6
› More promotion of/info about eVA
› Location awareness
› Shared SSID for govroam and eduroam?

5. Outcomes from discussion
» The survey and event
› Target the survey invite more accurately
› Repeat the event annually; build a community
› Repeat the survey – will become an expected landmark
of the year rather than suffer survey fatigue
