21欧元.That’s the number of Internet of Things (物联网) devices Gartner predicts will be in use worldwide by 2020.

Today’s enterprises are already challenged with the demands of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) and a large mobile workforce. The onslaught of 物联网 devices will only put increased pressure on the enterprise network.

To accommodate businesses in this piece of the digital transformation, we 最近宣布 我们的阿尔卡特朗讯OmniAccess®恒星接入点. Stellar access points use a controllerless architecture with distributed control intelligence providing more reliability, 更好的可扩展性和更低的成本. It delivers a high-quality user experience leveraging the 802.11ac Wave 2 technology, for indoor and outdoor usage, with resiliency and security. Furthermore, it includes integrated guest management and built-in DPI that can be leveraged for smart analytics and to help better support Internet of Things devices.

最近, 我们联合委员会 how enterprise verticals can ensure critical devices remain connected with necessary speeds while all of the other mobile devices are connected to the network at the same time. 33集, we take a look at the key technical considerations you’ll need when considering an investment in new Wi-Fi.

分布式智能 -确保始终如一的优秀用户体验的关键, built-in intelligence in the access points ensures that the flow of traffic is fully aligned with needs of the individual users and the patterns of demand affecting each access point. 多种因素结合起来实现这一目标, 包括自动, 智能优化(, 相邻ap间的协调, 张指导, 智能负载平衡, 无线时间公平访问和自我修复ap.

Deployment。 – In some instances, it may be appropriate to deploy smaller groups of APs in standalone clusters. 在其他, 完全托管的部署, 具有根据不断变化的需求进行扩展的选项, 将被要求.

用户onboarding - Ease of connection is a critical aspect of the user experience, 特别是对于酒店火狐体育手机的客户网络.

自带设备(BYOD) - Today’s employees expect to be able to connect their own devices to the network, especially those that use devices for both personal and work use. Policy enforcement is reliant on a management platform that can deal with the nuances and capabilities of different devices and operating systems.

物联网(物联网) - The management platform can incorporate established standards, 比如Bonjour和Universal Plug and Play, 简化物联网设备的接入. As more and more areas of the organization recognize the possibilities of automation, it’s likely that t再来 will be a rapid scaling of demand for more connections, 将可伸缩性作为关键考虑因素.

自动指定 - Virtual LANs provide logical separation at layer 2 for Ethernet networks. This assures segregation and reduces the volume of traffic that needs to be routed. The Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess恒星 access points in integration with Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® family of LAN products, provides automated VLAN provisioning at the edge of the network simplifying deployment at scale.

统一访问 - Today’s users access the network from multiple devices, including their own smartphones and tablets. Unified access provides them with a single set of credentials that can grant them access to wireless or wired network with maximum security, 不管他们用什么设备登录. 统一接入有助于增强安全性, enforcing policies on every device that is used to connect to the network. 因为它集中和自动化了身份管理, 它为it团队省去了另一项繁重的任务.

应用程序 - The intelligence built into OmniAccess恒星 WLAN access points provides the ability to optimize application performance over the wireless network, 符合带宽要求和用户期望.

分析 - Every click on a connected device generates data that can help to shape management decisions. 用户使用应用程序的方式, 网络上的通信模式, the peaks and troughs of demand – all these and many more factors contribute to a virtual picture of daily operations, 也预示着未来的机遇和挑战.
