When was the first Wi-Fi network created? Most people associate Wi-Fi with the early 2000s—but the roots of wireless networking go much further back. In 1971, Alohanet became the first wireless packet data network, developed by the University of Hawaii to connect computers on different islands. It used UHF radio waves to transmit data and laid the groundwork for modern Wi-Fi technology. At Essential Networks, we’re proud to build on decades of innovation—connecting people, places, and possibilities. #TechHistory #WiFi #Networking #EssentialNetworks #Innovation

How Do You Mount Your APs? Let’s Talk Best Practices! The way you mount your Wireless Access Points (APs) can significantly impact performance, aesthetics, and security. Choosing the right method ensures optimal coverage while maintaining a clean and professional look. Common AP Mounting Methods: - Ceiling grid mount: Using manufacturer-provided brackets for easy installation with the AP visible.  - Above the drop ceiling: Keeping AP's hidden for a cleaner look while maintaining coverage.  - Wall mounting: Ideal for spaces where ceiling installation isn’t possible, often using right-angle mounts. The first photo is an example of an AP mounted on the ceiling grid. If you need to hide cables on an exposed wall and ensure the AP is dome-down, check out these Oberon right-angle mounts:  🔗 Oberon H-Plane Right Angle Surface Mounts (https://lnkd.in/gvfngWrQ) Chatsworth Products How do you handle tricky indoor AP mounting situations?
