Since last week's open letter to FortiRu, I came to the realization that there may be some confusion related to Fortinet's AP product line. I decided to throw this post together so that it is easier to understand which APs are what, and which category they fall into. Keep in mind this is a high … Continue reading Fortinet, Meru, FortiRu Forti-WHO?
Dear FortiRu, You and I have been together for almost seven years. We have been many places together; local government buildings, soft drink distributors, beer distributors, small town banks, surgical tool manufacturing facilities, resorts, retirement communities, many private and public schools (too many to count), and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello (Remember TJ's attic?). We have had … Continue reading Dear FortiRu; An Open Letter of Affection, Disappointment, and Encouragement

A few taps and you have the ability to gather detailed information about your network infrastructure without even opening an SSH session or a door to a network closet.

A few weeks ago at Mobility Field Day 2 I was afforded the opportunity to listen to a presentation from the fine people of NETSCOUT (all capitals because that is how Kendall Hershey told me it should be). It was somewhat of a reunion for Brennan, Rob, and myself as we had established a relationship … Continue reading NETSCOUT – Nuthin’ But a G(2) Thang
I recently had the opportunity to listen to a presentation from Mist Systems at Mobility Field Day 2 in San Jose. At first glance/listen Mist might sound like just another controller-less "cloud" wifi solution that touts a shiny dashboard and user analytics. They even toss around trendy new buzzwords such as "AI" and "machine learning." … Continue reading Through the Mist; Predictable, Reliable, and Measurable Wifi from Mist Systems
The excitement for MFD2 has been building for awhile now and I can tell you we are in store for a great couple of days. I have been looking forward to this event since I accepted the invitation to be a delegate a couple of months ago. After coming together for dinner tonight as our … Continue reading Mobility Field Day 2
It has been a couple weeks since I returned from WLPC in Phoenix. It was a great trip down to the southwest which included catching up with some good friends, listening to great presentations, learning a lot, and also presenting on a topic near and dear to my heart. I was able to put a … Continue reading #WLPC 2017 PHX, #SingleChannelAdventures, and Looking Back
