In this session we will review, with examples, how CA Spectrum® will manage the WiFi environments in most organization. This will include instruction on how operators can view this new infrastructure in relationship to other elements in the environment and be proactive by managing and setting thresholds for number of users connected, upload/download volume, and much more.
