Wireless LANs help organizations like yours provide employees with the constant voice and data connection they need to maximize efficiency and productivity. As a result, the quality of the wireless connection and the performance of the wireless network are key to business continuity. But maintaining maximum WLAN performance generally requires a lot of manpower. The IT staff must closely monitor the network and when issues arise, the staff must be able to identify and remedy wireless network issues before they impact users — initiatives that are difficult, expensive and for remote locations, sometimes physically impractical. In addition, many variables make client connectivity problems difficult to troubleshoot. Pinpointing problems can take many hours, especially when the dispatch of a technician to a site is required. And with each new user, application and network modification, the hours involved in managing the performance of your wireless network increase — along with your support costs. Just as is the case with wire, having the right tools and procedures for network management is essential that allow organizations to proactively optimize wireless LAN performance as well as remotely troubleshoot RF problems.

Attend this complimentary webcast hosted by Motorola AirDefense Solutions featuring Nemertes Research’s Irwin Lazar where they discuss key performance issues in wireless that affect enterprise WLAN deployments, along with wireless network assurance solutions that give you full control of your WLAN operational performance, providing the solid network reliability and uptime required to fully realize the benefits of mobility. Learn how to maximize network availability and performance — with less effort and cost!
