Jay Botelho (Director of Product Management at WildPackets) demonstrates a beta version of WildPackets OmniPeek 7.0 for wireless. The product will be publicly available on October 3, 2012. Jay used the room and the wireless devices in the room to help show new features within OmniPeek 7.0 including the Compass dashboard, which is able to view overall WLAN behavior, including signal strength, for any or all users or protocols on the network. Jay also demoed OmniPeek 7.0 multi-channel analysis using multiple, 3-stream 802.11n adapters, as well as wireless roaming detection.

Later in the presentation Jay demoed OmniPeek Remote Assistant, which allows non-technical users to capture packets to send via email to network engineers for deep packet analysis and troubleshooting, eliminating the need for the network engineer to be onsite.

WildPackets now supports wireless decodes such as 802.11ac, 802.11w, and 802.11u, and demonstrated the details of these decodes to the delegates.

Hotspot 2.0 and 802.11u Discussed at the Wi-Fi Mobility Symposium

Discussion about Hotspot 2.0 at the Wi-Fi Mobility Symposium was heated, with much optimism about this new technology. This session was introduced by Andrew von Nagy and moderated by Andrew and Marcus Burton. It features the following panelists (L-R):

  • Devin Akin, Aerohive Networks
  • Peter Thornycroft, Aruba Networks
  • Paul Congdon, HP Labs
  • GT Hill, Ruckus Wireless

Public Wi-Fi hotspots are predicted to grow at an astounding rate, quadrupling in number from 1.3M to 5.8M between now ant 2015 according to the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA). Due in large part to the growing demand for mobile data by consumers and the lack of available capacity on cellular data networks (even after LTE upgrades), Wi-Fi offload has become a key strategy for most mobile network operators. Recognizing this need, the Wi-Fi Alliance and WBA teamed up to create the new Wi-Fi Certified Hotspot program which promises to provide a cellular-like user experience by streamlining Wi-Fi network selection and access. Hotspot operators will also be able to leverage cellular or 3rd party credential providers to facilitate network access and to provide data security. Symposium panelists will present the business drivers for the next generation of Wi-Fi hotspots, and discuss progress made by industry participants to bring Hotspot 2.0 solutions to market.
