1 Aruba at HiST Presentation for colleagues in Uninett-land 30.10.2013
Arnt Richard Rørvik, SPO/ICT, head of Development of ICT-services in HiST.

2 First a small – and very Norwegian – greeting :-)
Welcome! The following material is a small presentation of wireless at HiST, the University College of Sor-Trondelag, Trondheim. First a small – and very Norwegian – greeting :-) The opinions expressed in these PP-slides are those of the author; and may or may not represent official HiST views and strategies.

3 1.0 (2007/ ) Objectives: Focusing on robust high-capacity wireless anywhere Reducing number of eSSID’s: hist-guest and eduroam Defining classes of service: User groups, access control, QoS, services, security restrictions. Goal defined, mechanisms limited per 2007: Nettwork level, vlan overrides, packet filters Pervasive computing – same services anywhere Ease of use Single sign on

4 1.0 (2007/2008-2010) Mål og føringer Mandat for prosjekt
Implementeringen av «HiST nye trådløsnett 2007» markerer starten på oppbyggingen av et moderne og funksjonelt trådløsnett i HiST med god dekning, funksjonalitet og sikkerhet. Mandat for prosjekt (…) innføre et moderne, funksjonelt og sikkert trådløsnett for HiST som støtter alle aktuelle tjenester for ansatte og studenter. (…) oppsett av klientutstyr. … legge fram en plan for videreutvikling av systemet i perioden (fase II). Arbeidet skjer i samråd med UNINETT (…)

5 1.0 (2007/2008) Mål og føringer Implementeringen av «HiST nye trådløsnett 2007» markerer starten på oppbyggingen av et moderne og funksjonelt trådløsnett i HiST med god dekning, funksjonalitet og sikkerhet. Mandat for prosjekt Bidra til å innføre et moderne, funksjonelt og sikkert trådløsnett for HiST som støtter alle aktuelle tjenester for ansatte og studenter. Foreslå nødvendig teknisk spesifikasjon og detaljering, samt forberede innkjøp under bruk av rammeavtaler innen vedtatt budsjettramme og slik at funksjonalitet og sikkerhet ivaretas på en god måte. Utføre installasjon og teknisk tilpasning. Bistå i etableringen av nødvendig drifting av systemet og støtte­tjenester så som samarbeide med Brukersenteret om oppsett av klientutstyr. Foreslå satsninger for 2008 og legge fram en plan for videreutvikling av systemet i perioden (fase II). Arbeidet skjer i samråd med UNINETT, og fase I skal være fullført innen 31. desember 2007.

6 1.0 Coverage: 100% for portable computers- Pc, Mac, indoor
High aggregate bandwidth in high usage areas (auditoriums etc.) In the forefront in terms of n: Cisco Aironet 1252, late 2008. Working! Extra cabling (not in use), or planned cabling for increased density and coverage Outdoor coverage between buildings

7 1.0 Policy: Decommissioning old radio technology as quickly as possible Turning off b – consuming airtime from g/n Restricting the use of unauthorised APs Additional reguirements: Hosting in-house alien venues Reducing interference within premises

8 1.0 Radiation & health: Policy vs. employees
Important aspect. Corporate responsibility. Recent research (R. Oftedal) Norms: ICNIRP, PTT, other gov. institutions Psychology: Hidden APs (but losing some signal strength) No Aps in offices Distance important – Aps of little significance with HiST’s placement of APs Employees own use of devices most significant – distance to antennas. Cellulars – much more powerful Antenna placement and distance important Cisco Wism (1) and Cisco Aironet 1252 implementation Tricky getting all kinds of equipment online with stable connections

9 Agenda . 2.0 (2012/13) Updated ambitions:
(2012/13) Updated ambitions: Increased use of wireless among students Office 365/ Lync Online, multimedia, small videos etc. Requirements of employees Means for an end: New buildings – even higher density 802.11ac – right time to og for it?

10 2.0 (2010-2015) We have Cisco, would we need anything else?
Price competition with certain performance demands – Uninett-facilitated Aruba won But how often is it practical to change vendor? Transition costs etc.? eduroam «basic» Quick and simple job - «do it yourself»

11 2.0 eduroam «full package» Deployment example: HHiT
Airwave, Clear Pass Policy Manager (CPPM) Major job, including guest module Deployment example: HHiT 65 dBm requirement HHiT m2., 125 APs, => 78 m2/AP. -> ca. 8,8 m. between each AP Directional antennas (combi 2.4/5 GHz Aruba) in auditoriums HHiT Dividing into sectors «Over-head antennas» Antennas under the seat – not in compliance with company policy Beamshaping ClientMatch etc. Better client control

12 2.0 Why 802.11ac for HiST? Planning for even higher wifi demand
Demands rocketing. Lync Online/onsite a major driver. 802.11ac a superior standard Patching many standard flaws of g/n (and earlier) 5 GHz with increased reach (standardizing beamforming more) and shorter airtime Standardized support for directing clients, power consumed etc.

13 2.0 New buildings: Planned from ground-up «cable-wise»
Planning using VisualRF Pretty much a solid performer, 3D (floor above/underneath) Cabling & mounting a fixed cost => Low when doing it up-front/when buildings built => Tearing down equipment and replacing APs just a few years later is expensive => Re-planning coverage is expensive (difficult to re-use cabling unless doing an up-front coverage planning for AC) => Re-cabling is very expensive Hopefully, planning in Trådløst HiST 1.0 still useful for 2.0/AC.

14 2.0 From now on, completing Trådløst HiST 2.0: Trådløst HiST 3.0?
802.11ac on all new campuses Gradually replacing n, 400 APs in 2014. Considering «eduroam at home» Internet connection payed for by HiST Require to use of a HiST Remote AP? Prioritizing traffic of the HiST employee. Offering eduroam to eduroam users in the vincinity. Trådløst HiST 3.0? More open More secure Simpler to use With predictable capacity, growing in step with deman

15 2.0 Airwave Clear Pass Policy Manager
Running in VM (Vmware) Very simple to install & use VisualRF a good example; both monitoring & planning. Clear Pass Policy Manager Also virtualized (Vmware) Starring: «Guest module» Also appearing on the show: ac clients DEMO! (AT LAST) :-)
