RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Major WLAN/mobile projectcs coming online for Fall '13? Just wondering...

2013-08-21 Thread Russ Leathe
As far as .11ac, I don't see us involved for another year at least.  Waiting 
for .11ac laptops/tablets/smartphones to sell the inbedded chipset first.

MDM is key, looking for a product that protects mobile as well as laptop/tablets

Malware policies for users.  Handle this via our NAC.

We are using mDNS via our wireless WLAN.  Students register their own device(s) 
and  depending on which one, they get pushed to production or  secondary VLAN(s)

Nutshell version,

russ

Just wondering...

It would be interesting - to me at least! - to see if there are any 
commonalities in Education IT priorities for the new academic year.

11ac exploration?
Improved mobile device management?
New user policies?
Bonjour/Apple TV etc?

In keeping with the Listserv policies, this query is NOT for a story that I 
plan to write. For me as a reporter, it's food for thought, which could 
eventually generate a story idea.

Thanks, Russ.

Given that you don't have the MDM product you'd like right nowdo you run 
separate management systems for smartphones vs laptops/tablets?
