News Facts

  • When: Tuesday, May 10 from 2:15pm-3:15pm PT
  • Where: Interop Las Vegas, room Lagoon L
  • Panel Abstract: With wireless LANs now the edge of the corporate network, many firms have big expansion plans for this key capability. But a major debate has been brewing here for some time, and one with far-reaching implications: which WLAN architecture is going to best serve the diverse missions of today’s (and tomorrow’s) enterprise LAN? Is a controller still required, or will more-distributed architectural approaches dominate? This vital question is certain to kick up a good deal of dust, but the answer is certain to be a key factor in your next WLAN purchasing decision.

  • Who: Aerohive’s Director of Product Management, Matthew Gast
  • What: “Both Sides of the Link: Wireless and the Cloud” panel moderated by analyst Paul DeBeasi, Gartner, Inc.
  • When: Wednesday, May 11th from 11:30am-12:30pm PT
  • Where: Interop Las Vegas, room Lagoon L
  • Panel Abstract: With much of IT now dependent upon Web and cloud services, it’s important to consider how this key strategy will extend to mobile users and devices. With the advent of much improved WLANs and WWANs, it’s now practical to consider both public and private clouds as key elements in a mobile IT solution. This session will explore the requirements to make such a strategy operational, including the tools and procedures required, and will also consider the requirements of collaboration and the role of both virtualization and the mobile device capabilities in a cloud-computing environment.

  • Who: Chair of the Wi-Fi Alliance security task groups and the Wireless Network Management Marketing task group, Matthew Gast
  • What: “Off the Hook: Advances in Wireless LAN Technologies” panel moderated by analyst Fanny Mlinarsky, OctoScope

  • Where: Interop Las Vegas, room Lagoon L
  • Panel Abstract: Have a look at the list of projects now underway at IEEE 802.11 and the Wi-Fi Alliance and you’ll quickly get the message: there’s more going on than ever in WLAN standards, specifications, and advanced wireless-LAN technologies. Always a popular topic at Interop, this session will dive into important developments in each of these areas, with detailed discussion of the implications for enterprise network planning and operations. We’ll also provide a look at the farther-term future of the wireless LAN.
