4ipnet Blog: All About Wireless Networking

EAP747 deployed in the 4ipnet Office by Ernest I came to work on a lovely Wednesday morning, ate my routine peanut butter and jelly sandwich while trying to connect my laptop to the office cloud. To my surprise,  I stumbled upon a new, strange SSID  labeled "cip-psk92" signaling around the office. Usually,  I don't change my wireless connection just randomly since I like to keep certain things the same way during work, however, curiosity made me begin to search for the owner of this unknown SSID I was not made aware of. After tearing through the break room, the lobby, the kitchen and even the guests hallway, I found myself in desperate need of some closure. I  headed towards our Product Management department looking for clues on where I might find the surprise host. Luckily, one of our Product Manager kindly explained to me that they have deployed an additional Access Point in one of the meetings rooms I searched earlier. Much in doubt (s...

by Ernest  Lately, I've been boggled by the future state of wireless connectivity. As more and more smart phones, laptops, and other handheld devices becomes smaller, faster and compatible with surrounding computer-like equipment (USB, Cloud Storage etc..), seems like the need for Ethernet Ports or RJ-45 cable wires are no longer as necessary as it use to be. When I first moved into my dormitory room in college back in the early days (yes, my age is a secret), one of the first and most important items on my need-to-do were: 1) Buy an Ethernet Cable 2) Buy a wireless card. Fortunately today, neither equipment seems to be as important as it use to be.  With wireless connectivity becoming more important and easier to carry, wired connectivity becomes only necessary when performing critical missions, such as server backup and transferring high level sensitive information.   In my mind a compilations of everyday venu...
