Li-Fi Projects?

2018-03-20 Thread Jason Cook 
Howdy,

Has anyone been involved in any Li-Fi installs? We've been asked to investigate 
it under a green projects idea.

It seems these are the main vendors.
https://purelifi.com/
http://vlncomm.com

That's about all I have at the moment, just interested to see how things have 
gone if you have or if any obvious things to note.

Regards

Jason

Unlicensed wireless Gig Link for 1000' PtP

2018-03-20 Thread Lee H Badman 
Apologies to those of you who will get this twice.

I need to replace a licensed Gig bridge on a short link with smaller/cheaper 
but still Gig. I know there are many options, but I'm looking for feedback 
specifically on two 60 GHz options:

1.  IgniteNet MetroLinq https://www.ignitenet.com/products/metrolinq/
2.  Siklu EtherHaul -600 
https://www.siklu.com/portfolio-posts/etherhaul-600-series-v-band/

Are any of you using either, and at what length? Anything good or bad to report 
from reliability, quirkiness, support, etc?

Thanks very much,

Lee Badman

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba 8.0

2018-03-20 Thread Trinklein, Jason R 
We are upgrading our AOS to the latest patch tonight. We have faced a lot of 
bugs with AOS up until now. We were one of the first universities to deploy AOS 
8.0.0.0, being that we wanted to build our new Aruba infrastructure from the 
ground up with the benefits of 8, which was brand new when we started. We are 
excited about the bug fixes reported in the PDF.

Hi Chad,

Helpful observations.  We’re looking at an upgrade without MM for our small 
Campus.  280 WAPs that will grow to ~400 using a high density design using 7220 
& 7210.  Still investigating the cost/benefit for MM or non-MM upgrade.

We’ll need more Q & A with HPE and our local vendor.  Can’t make Atmosphere 
due to scheduling conflicts.
