I tend to highlight accessibility i.e. dense coverage ensuring seamless access 
even in even the most unconventional of spaces. If it’s in a building with 
classrooms, emphasize improved support for the academic mission and including 
access to emerging and innovative technologies.

In 2003 when we deployed gigabit in our residential halls, we used the 
marketing term “Gigabit to the Pillow” to underscore the performance and 
accessibility of the wired network. With our recent deployment of 11ac wave 2 
and multi-gig switches in our new residential hall, we’re starting to use the 
term again, but for our wireless.

Just wondering what wording people tend to use when talking up a new wireless 
network. We have a new building with all new wireless (not really any different 
to most of our network) and of course as part of the go live they want a shiney 
line or 2 about the wireless network. And asked me, “is I the fastest wireless 
we have”…… I’ve always tried to avoid words like “fastest” since user 
experience can vary and high density  for example is often designed to allow 
high number of users access and not necessarily bandwidth.

I typically aim to talk about consistency of experience etc.. However they 
prefer words like bigger, faster, better.

I have DBS (dynamic bandwidth selection) enabled (Cisco feature), so even in my 
very dense residential deployments I’m seeing a good majority of the 5Ghz 
radios auto-adjusting to 80 Mhz, with a good amount of the clients at Tx rates 
of 1300 Mbps. So while technically not as fast as wired gigabit, it’s still 
darn impressive.

Our student base is also 85%+ Mac now, so it helps to have Apple devices that

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless "advertising"

2016-10-05 Thread Jeffrey D. Sessler 
I tend to highlight accessibility i.e. dense coverage ensuring seamless access 
even in even the most unconventional of spaces. If it’s in a building with 
classrooms, emphasize improved support for the academic mission and including 
access to emerging and innovative technologies.

In 2003 when we deployed gigabit in our residential halls, we used the 
marketing term “Gigabit to the Pillow” to underscore the performance and 
accessibility of the wired network. With our recent deployment of 11ac wave 2 
and multi-gig switches in our new residential hall, we’re starting to use the 
term again, but for our wireless.

Just wondering what wording people tend to use when talking up a new wireless 
network. We have a new building with all new wireless (not really any different 
to most of our network) and of course as part of the go live they want a shiney 
line or 2 about the wireless network. And asked me, “is I the fastest wireless 
we have”…… I’ve always tried to avoid words like “fastest” since user 
experience can vary and high density  for example is often designed to allow 
high number of users access and not necessarily bandwidth.

I typically aim to talk about consistency of experience etc.. However they 
prefer words like bigger, faster, better.

RE: Wireless "advertising"

2016-10-05 Thread Knee, Patrick 
I've always like words like "new", "improved", "enhanced".  They typically fly 
with the technical side (us) and marketing/promotion.
