Nick Shoemaker continues his look at Passpoint in this blog post, looking at how data flows and how admins can actually access the carrier network through the Aruba Network wireless LAN. While he wasn’t at the event, Nick found Aruba’s presentation from Mobility Field Day on Passpoint to be invaluable to the piece. What makes Passpoint particularly appealing is that it does not vary that much from standard enterprise wireless other than passing the data along to the carriers for authentication, accounting and services. Be sure to check out the last installment when it comes out, looking at setting up Passpoint on an Aruba wireless network.

Network Field Day 20 Recap – Juniper’s Hedging Their Bets
Nick Shoemaker was impressed by the frankness that Juniper Networks presented with at Networking Field Day earlier this month. The company made a compelling case that network automation isn’t just a hip buzzword, it’s a vital skill that network engineers need to have right now. To that effect, Juniper showcased their EngNet community to provide resources to engineers learning about automation. This was further enforced by the Juniper NRE Labs platform, which is a browser-based way to test automation out.
