Wireless Network Management

updated Aug 8, 2010 1:11 pm | 7,021 views Wireless Network Management refers to use of software tools designed to enhance performance, reliability and security of wireless networks particularly by diagnosing, detecting and reducing sources of radio frequency interference. Unlike in case of wired networks, where the redundancy of the equipment can be applied to mitigate the impact of performance problems and network failures to some extent, the wireless networking have a very limited options owing to availability of very limited wireless spectrum and the effects of wireless interference. The factors that can have impact on the wireless network performance include traffic flows, working of the network topologies and network protocols, hardware, software and also, the environmental conditions. Therefore, often the Wireless users can be subjected to problems such as lack of coverage, intermittent discontinuity and difficult to monitor security aspects. Wireless Network Management systems help to ensure network availability, as well as to provide other maintenance tasks, such as performance monitoring, testing, and fault management. Some of the tools for Wireless Network management are Colubris MultiService Access Points (Maps), Airwave Management Platform (AMP) and Wireless Management Suite, wireless network management spectrum analysis software from Cognio Inc., Radio IP MTG, Ciscos suite of Wireless Network management products etc. Related White Papers and Webcasts Distributed Workforce Management in the Cloud: Spreading IT Security Wherever Employees Roam Ten Steps to an Enterprise Mobility Strategy What You Need to Know About the Costs of Mobility Show more White Papers Related Content What small shops need to know about wireless risk management (Blogs) Wireless_Network (Wiki) WIRELESS NETWORK MANAGEMENT (Groups) Cisco IUWNE 1.0: Introducing, Installing, and Administering WCS (Training) Cisco IUWNE 1.0: Cisco WCS Administration (Training) Windows Vista Network Connectivity (Training) Jobs by
