All good things must come to an end. Virtual Cell is NOT going to be part of Fortinet's upcoming .11ax access point product line. I'm not certain of the exact reason but it would seem that the cost of engineering a chipset with proprietary features and efficiency gains from the advancement in technology brought by … Continue reading Rest Easy Old Friend; Virtual Cell Is Getting the (.11)ax

As much as I hate to admit it, Fortinet is more than just "those guys who bought Meru." In fact they are way more than just a wireless company. As we already know, Fortinet is best known in the industry as a security company with a rock solid reputation. The truth is, Fortinet is a … Continue reading From the Edge to the Air, Fortinet’s Full Stack End to End Solution
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?

We have had … Continue reading Dear FortiRu; An Open Letter of Affection, Disappointment, and Encouragement

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

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
We all find bugs in software from time to time and most of the time they are fixed in relatively short order.....maybe....

Early on … Continue reading Frozen Fi – The Big TX Freeze
