Cisco Unified communication over WLAN helps TBWA improve reachability and collaboration among
employees.
Techni cal Impl ementati on
TBWA\Chiat\Day used the self-configuring, self-healing, and self-optimizing capabilities of the
Cisco Unified Wireless Network to help ensure optimal coverage and capacity. Radio resource
management (RRM) allowed their wireless network to automatically adjust access point power and
channel configurations to avoid signal coverage problems throughout the day as users roam
throughout the facility. TBWA\Chiat\Day also relied on the dynamic power control and load
balancing of users across access points to optimize call capacity of the network.

balancing of users across access points to optimize call capacity of the network.
In addition to centralized management and rapid deployment of all of the access points, the Cisco
Unified Wireless Network offered segmentation of user groups. This feature enabled IT staff to
configure separate virtual LANs for voice and data, helping to ensure both data security and quality
of service for voice traffic. Voice received top priority to support the ability to roam from access
point to access point without dropping a call.

QoS and the reliability of the network were further enhanced through support for Wi-Fi Multi Media
(WMM), which prioritizes delay-sensitive traffic to provide uninterrupted service, and voice
optimization tools such as Spectrum Expert and the Voice Readiness tool. The Voice Readiness
Tool provides a visual indication of the network’s radio coverage and an assessment of the
readiness of the deployment for voice.

The project was completed in less than four months, and the solution has been up and running
since September of last year.
