The perfect storm of wireless data hit our San Francisco and Bay Area wireless networks last week.
- Oracle Open World brought in the people and our networks observed almost triple the typical number of wireless connected devices at our hospitality and enterprise clients.
- The iPhone iOS update then pushed bandwidth usage and data downloads to a new level. It seemed everywhere we looked iPhones were downloading the update.
- We even had a IT manager asking where was all this traffic was coming from while he admitted he was currently updating his iPhone
Fortunately for our clients SF WiFi designs and installs high capacity and high speed wireless networks. We did not have one downed wireless network, one system reboot or a single screaming hotel general manager during this data perfect storm.
In fact this “data storm” was a great time for us to observe our network infrastructure under increased stress, look at config options and offer clients tweaks to optimize performance.
And congratulations to Oracle Team USA for winning the America’s Cup.
During the weeks of competition SF WiFi caught small views of the races as we commuted the city from project to project.
