whitepaper It Takes Two to Tango: Using Wi-Fi and WiMAX to Deliver Broadband Wireless Services to Fixed and Mobile Clients2008-01-28 Aruba Networks
  This paper seeks to answer the questions from the viewpoint of a Wi-Fi network manager. The key questions are how soon WiMAX networks will be available, and how could WiMAX be made to work in conjunction with a Wi-Fi deployment. To reach conclusions, it is necessary to clear up many misconceptions that have arisen over the capabilities and timelines of WiMAX technology.

whitepaper Power Over Ethernet (PoE) and 802.11n2008-01-22 Bluesocket
  Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology provides a means to transmit electrical power, along with data, to remote devices such as Wireless LAN (WLAN) Access Points (APs) over an unmodified Ethernet network. One of the primary benefits of PoE, as it relates to wireless LAN deployments, is negating the need for AC power in the ceiling, thus simplifying and reducing the cost of wireless deployments. With the emergence of the 802.11n WiFi standard and the bandwidth/coverage improvements 802.11n solutions deliver, however, a new power paradigm is emerging. As a result, one of the challenges product vendors are encountering is how to deliver "Full feature" solutions within the current 802.3af power standard.

whitepaper The Whys and Hows of Deploying Large-Scale Campus-Wide Wi-Fi Networks2008-01-16 Aruba Networks
  Ubiquitous Wi-Fi across an enterprise or campus is a very positive and exciting experience for students, faculty, staff and visitors to institution. Having instant access to email, the internet, and other IT services irrespective of location can dramatically change the way constituents live, work, study, learn, and play. If wireless coverage is also converged with voice and video, the experience is even further enhanced. And today, everyone who comes to institution has experienced wireless access to the internet somewhere - at home or work, or in coffee houses, libraries, airports, or hotels.

whitepaper 802.11n Design and Deployment Guidelines2008-01-01 Cisco Systems
  The industry has been excited about 802.11n from the day the suggestion was made that fast Ethernet speeds might be achievable in the world of Wi-Fi. Now, that standard is ready for mass consumption in the form of the Draft 2.0 version of 802.11n from the IEEE, widely approved by the 802.11 Working Group. Earlier pre-N consumer products offered, at best, no guarantee of interoperability, forcing early adopters into single-vendor solutions, all without the features and performance to justify enterprise-grade deployments. Draft 2.0 dramatically shifts this trend by bringing stability to the standard, making good on the promise of 802.11n. And the Wi-Fi Alliance has begun certifying interoperability between products that support the standard's high-water mark.

whitepaper A Performance Comparison of QoS Approaches for Ad Hoc Networks: 802.11e Versus Distributed Resource Allocation2008-01-01 Technical University of Berlin
  This paper compares two approaches for Quality of Service support in WLAN-based ad hoc networks. The first approach is to use per-packet priorities, according to the IEEE 802.11e standard. The second approach is to allocate radio resources on the path between source and destination, according to the protocol 'Distributed end-to-end Allocation of time slots for REal-time traffic' (DARE). Performance simulations show the following results: In case of low load, IEEE 802.11e has slightly lower end-to-end delay and higher packet loss rate, since it does not use any coordination among nodes for real-time packets. In case of medium load, DARE is superior in terms of jitter, delay, and packet loss. In case of high load, DARE clearly outperforms 802.11e.

whitepaper Using Wireless Ethernet for Localization2008-01-01 Rice University
  IEEE 802.11b wireless Ethernet is rapidly becoming the standard for in-building and short-range wireless communication. Many mobile devices such as mobile robots, laptops and PDAs already use this protocol for wireless communication. Many wireless Ethernet cards measure the signal strength of incoming packets. This paper investigates the feasibility of implementing a localization system using this sensor. Using a Bayesian localization framework, they show experiments demonstrating that off-the-shelf wireless hardware can accurately be used for location sensing and tracking with about one meter precision in a wireless-enabled office building.

whitepaper Porting of Flash Player to a Remote Control Device Running Windows CE2008-01-01 Calsoft Labs
  The Client is a leading provider of consumer electronics devices. The client was using Flash content as a user interface. The device also had internet access via wi-fiport, and the client needed to be able to play Flash content off the internet. Since there is no publicly available Flash player that could be run on Windows CE, the client approached Calsoft Labs to create a customer player that'll run on their device. With the Calsoft Labs team taking up the porting of Flash Player development work, the client was able focus on the UI development and hardware optimization which allowed them to bring the product to market in much shorter time.

whitepaper Banning Wireless Doesn't Stop Users: Understand How to Protect Your Network and Support Wi-Fi Enthusiasts2007-12-18 Aruba Networks
  Despite great strides in Wireless LAN (WLAN) technology, many organizations continue to choose a "No-Wireless" policy, meaning wireless deployments of any kind are expressly prohibited by organizational guidelines. The basic goal is to eliminate any occurrence of wireless access, sanctioned or unsanctioned, within a defined space or location. The rationale for such a policy can vary, ranging from security concerns to a perception of operational complexity and prohibitive costs.

whitepaper Network Access Control for Mobile Networks2007-12-17 Aruba Networks
  The threat of an infected device gaining access to a healthy enterprise network is becoming a significant concern. The focus has been on securing the network perimeter, which leaves the network vulnerable to attacks that originate within the security perimeter. This threat is exacerbated by the growth in popularity of mobile devices such as laptops, PDAs and SmartPhones that more easily move between public and private networks. The use of these mobile devices in insecure public networks such as wireless hotspots and municipal Wi-Fi networks exposes these devices to various kinds of viruses, worms and other malicious software.

whitepaper The All-Wireless Workplace Is Now Open for Business: Using 802.11n as Your Primary Network LAN Deployments2007-12-17 Aruba Networks
  Wi-Fi technology has been steadily improving for some years, to the extent that many workers now rely on wireless as their primary data connection to the corporate network. Wi-Fi infrastructure for manufacturing and retail organizations, hotels, universities and schools is already a $1 billion market, with annual growth in double digits. Adoption to date in enterprise offices, also known as 'carpeted space' has been slower, as many CIOs and users still regard a Wi-Fi connection as inferior to a wired Ethernet connection. 802.11n is a game changer because when properly deployed it has the potential to displace wired networks to enable a completely all-wireless workplace.
