Timesaving Advice for Effective WLAN Management 2007-12-01 Cisco Systems

Effectively managing Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) is becoming more and more challenging as organizations use their WLANs to support business-critical applications, everyday business operations, and specialized services. Because IT managers have limited budgets, it is critical that WLAN management be easy, scalable, and cost-effective. The presenter of this webcast will show you value of centralized WLAN management and provide timesaving advice and tips to help to more effectively manage WLAN with the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS). Step-by-step instructions and demonstrations will help more effectively to optimize the RF environment, streamline WLAN management, and mitigate wireless threats.

Enterprise Fixed Mobile Convergence: Deploying Dual Mode Devices and Other Options 2007-12-01 Cisco Systems

Because today's workforce spends much time away from a fixed workspace, the ability to bridge communications between the traditional office desk and the mobile world has become critical for today's IT professional. This webcast discusses about fixed-mobile convergence: what it means, what the benefits are, and how a business can implement fixed-mobile convergence today. The attendee of will learn how to meet today's needs for mobile collaboration using a range of mobile solutions for unified communications, including dual-mode handsets - single number reach, and full mobile unified communications to cell phones, laptops, and other converged mobile devices. The presenters of this webcast discuss how these technologies apply to different mobile workforce types and the strategies one can take for a stepwise migration approach.

Capacity Coverage & Deployment Considerations for IEEE 802.11g 2007-12-01 Cisco Systems

802.11g is an exciting new technology that offers additional performance, while providing investment protection for 802.11b clients through backward compatibility. By using previous technologies and economies of scale, 802.11g devices are available at little or no additional cost relative to 802.11b. As such, there are many reasons to begin migrating from 802.11b to 802.11g. 802.11g is not, however, a panacea for WLAN capacity issues. When operating in mixed-mode environments, the throughput and capacity improvements are very modest. Even with advances like CTS to Self and when operating in 802.11g-only mode, capacity will be limited by the small number of available 2.4 GHz channels.

Parking Meter Company Creates New Business Model With Wi-Fi 2007-12-01 Cisco Systems

Photo Violation Technologies wanted to encourage sales of high-tech parking meters to municipal customers and find a cost-effective alternative to cellular technology. The challenge was to gain better control of wireless network operations and develop new municipal opportunities beyond the core business. The company deployed a Cisco Outdoor Wireless Solution which provides wireless data connectivity to municipal parking meters, Wi-Fi technology provides sufficient bandwidth for wireless transmission of license plate photos, multiple channels that allow the company to offer both Internet access and parking meter services to its municipal customers and Free Internet access is available within 300 feet of each PhotoViolationMeter parking meter.

Designing and Deploying 802.11n Next-Generation Wireless 2007-12-01 Cisco Systems

802.11n offers dramatic improvements in speed, range, and reliability. However, having the right wireless infrastructure is crucial if organizations are to take advantage of its full potential. This Webcast will help to understand the primary design and deployment principles for 802.11n in wireless networks.

Integrating and Managing Premium Messaging Services With a Single Platform 2007-11-27 Verisign

As the market for wireless voice services matures, operators are looking to expand their services and increase revenues by providing premium content. The opportunities for growth are tremendous. Subscribers are no longer satisfied just to download ringtones and send simple text messages. They seek access to richer media and services, such as user-generated content, social networking, location-based services, video on demand, and other Application-to-Person (A2P) messaging applications. The challenges that face operators as they try to tap into these markets, however, are just as great as the opportunities. The suppliers of premium content - service providers, also known as content aggregators, and the third-party content providers they represent - lack standardized, easily managed processes for getting content to wireless subscribers via operators.

Microsoft Online Customer Story: Nissan 2007-11-20 Microsoft Tips

Nissan is the third largest japanese automobile manufacturer. It's hard to deny the allure of visually immersive video games. The consumer-geared potential for that progressive technology goes far beyond gaming - it opens doors for people who use the Internet every day to search and map. Companies like Nissan are betting that while eye-catching graphics are generally a great way to get consumers' attention, they can go beyond the flash to provide a service. That notion sparked a collaboration between Nissan and Microsoft Digital Advertising Solutions. Nissan saw a superb opportunity to dynamically engage its audience. By placing large, colorful 3-D billboards over the cityscapes, they would have a compelling vehicle to encourage users to click through to their website.

Nokia New Year's Eve Event Uses Windows Live and MSN to Create a Deep Online Consumer Connection 2007-11-19 Microsoft

Nokia is a world leader in mobile communications, driving the growth and sustainability of the broader mobility industry. Nokia needed to engage large numbers of consumers worldwide; create a unique online New Year's Eve experience; promote the Nokia brand through association with high-profile concerts by top artists; and support and extend the investment made into the concerts themselves by using the worldwide Web. Nokia combined forces with Microsoft Digital Advertising Solutions to bring five major New Year's Eve celebration concerts to life through creating the first multi-platform Global digital live music experience.

WiMAX and WiFi Together: Deployment Models and User Scenarios 2007-11-19 Motorola

The integration of WiFi into notebooks has accelerated the adoption of WiFi to the point where it is nearly a default feature in notebooks. Over 97% of laptops ship with WiFi integrated, and an increasing number of handhelds and Consumer Electronics (CE) devices are adding WiFi capabilities. This paper explores the complementary nature of WiMAX and WiFi, as well as illustrates how service providers can leverage these technologies to offer wireless broadband Internet connectivity and compelling new services at affordable prices and in more locations. It also focuses on the synergies between the IEEE 802.11a/g/n Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and IEEE 802.16e-2005 OFDMA air interfaces.
