October 2008- Ask a hundred CIOs what three things about WLANs (wireless LANs) strike fear into their hearts, and the answers are likely to be similar: Security, Security, and Security. Sure, you want good coverage. Sure, you want to minimize drops. But the only way an executive is likely to lose their job over a wireless network is if they end up like the folks at The TJX Companies, who saw millions of credit card numbers stolen ...
January 2008- This paper from Nortel Networks provides a terabit cluster based on the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 at the core. This delivers industry-leading reliability and active, sub-second resilience by ensuring that no single component failure is able to impact critical applications or services.

January 2008- This paper provides a configuration example on how to configure Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) and Lightweight Access Points (LAPs) for multicasting and communication with a multicast enabled wired network. Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) tunnel to each access point (AP) connected to the controller. Each multicast frame received by the controller from a VLAN on the first hop router was copied and sent over the LWAPP tunnel to each of the APs connected to it. ...
January 2008- Hospital de Sao Sebastiao wanted medical staff to have anytime access to high-bandwidth medical images and data, no matter where they were located in the Hospital. But their network did not have the capacity to allow both this and other critical activities to take place at the same time. A highly available network core based upon an actively resilient configuration of the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600. High-speed connectivity - vital for accessing and exchanging medical ...
January 2008- Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) communication, enabled by the presence of multiple transmit and receive antennas in the communication link, is a physical layer technology that can improve throughput in WLANs. Unfortunately, the cost of MIMO in terms of additional overhead, is often overlooked. In this paper the impact of overhead on MAC throughput is evaluated, using representative physical and MAC models. Several different MIMO configurations including spatial multiplexing, concurrent transmit and receive beam forming, ...
January 2008- CGI Group, Inc., one of the largest independent information technology (IT) services firms in the world. CGI Group wanted to set up two new help desk centers that would reuse existing hardware and applications, reduce cost and complexity, provide resilience through geographic redundancy and give contact center workers the freedom to stay accessible while not at their desks. The company deployed a Nortel contact center solution that offers the cost savings and flexibility of IP ...
January 2008- Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the encryption protocol defined in the original IEEE 802.11 standard for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs).
