Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points

Cisco Access Point
We created a wireless network for users out in the field, out at the office to have stability for users to connect to internal applications, out to internet, basically just to get a better connection for and better user experience.

Pros

  • It make users able to roam the office without having to worry about cables and also it makes people more productive by not just having to be wired in from that perspective and have meetings wherever they want in the office from that perspective, but also just production in many different areas where people use this for security reasons and stuff like that.

Cons

  • Room for improvement would be less time to program the hardware from the beginning so that way we can actually deploy faster instead of waiting on for it to sync and get the configuration updates and stuff like that.
  • No more people complaining about wireless.
Scalability, when you're looking at it, it's like density wise, right? How many people can actually connect and everything else. And I know every access point has their limitations as far as congestions and stuff like that. So the reason why I did eight is because I mean, in certain aspect it's going to take a lot of people to get congested on a wireless access points. So as long as you built out and have the right connections from the beginning, you shouldn't have any performance issue. But it just really depends on the environment that you deploy the access points in.
I would say probably a couple weeks. Can't really be exact because we do multiple tasks and everything else, so we basically deploy whatever we can from that perspective.
Yes, it helps configure things much more simpler from that standpoint. Be able to just connect access points and just pull in the access point in and it'll download the configuration automatically.
Meraki, but we decided not to go with Meraki. We went away from Meraki due to different case uses.

Well, it's really suited everywhere. I mean, gas station has it, offices have it, refineries. Every business department is going to use wireless one way or the other. So it's really useful in many aspect of the business. As far as not where not to use it, I can't really think of any because I mean wireless is everybody's daily life. I mean, you have your cell phone and people don't want to use their data so they get on WIFI.
