3+ mobile devices per user: strains network capacity
Sticky clients don’t roam well: bit rate and app performance degrade
Unpredictable client density: network must adapt to spontaneous collaboration
Wi-Fi Challenges In The Mobile Workplace
![Page 5: Software Defined Networking: Enabling The Mobile Workplace](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55b15f77bb61ebd5488b457c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Common UC Over Wi-Fi Challenges
•Wired network may lose traffic
priority indicators
• Legacy wired network may
incorrectly tag traffic
•UC Servers are often not
configured to tag
Client Side Limitations Wi-Fi Limitations Wired LAN Limitations
• RF is a limited bandwidth
resource
• WMM traffic prioritization
depends on wired network
prioritization.
• No troubleshooting capabilities
for Lync
•High Client Diversity
•BYOD Security and on-boarding
•Client Roaming not optimized
•Client do not support upstream
tagging

Lync Aware Wi-Fi In Action
Traffic streams as Lync voice,
video and desktop sharing
and tagged appropriately
Traffic Re-tagging
Load balancing and Client
Match ensure reliable voice
and video communications
Traffic Re-tagging
Voice, Video and
Desktop sharing
streams are
appropriately tagged
over LAN, WAN and
Wi-Fi

Better Visibility, Faster Root Cause Analysis
Managing Lync over Aruba Wi-Fi
• System and access point Lync
utilization
• Centralized view of real-time call data:
caller, callee, R-value, packet loss, jitter
• Correlates call quality with Wi-Fi client
health
• Historical call quality information for
users and access points
• Real-time per-device, per-user active
sessions data
• Identifies call roaming events, tagging
errors, device population
Detailed diagnostics and monitoring
data helps the IT team to manage,
monitor and troubleshoot Lync over the
Aruba Wi-Fi
