PQ 156: Wires Matter – A Wireless Engineer’s Detective Story
Do you take layer 1 for granted? Let’s think for a moment.
How old is that cabling plant? Two years? Five years? Ten or more years? Don’t know and don’t really want to know? As you bring new equipment online, you might need to care.
Our guest today is Lee Badman, known largely for his wireless prowess, writing at wirednot.wordpress.com. But our chat today is as much about wire as it is about wireless.
Lee wrote a blog post talking through how, after a switch upgrade, some wireless access points weren’t coming online.
Warning. The story takes us to some very dark places. Listeners with weak hearts be advised.
