Liberty Global

> 47,000 employees worldwide, more than 28.5 million clients.

Issue:

Liberty Global wanted to launch a new setup box for digital TV for the B2B market in Europe. This box would be delivered with a Meraki WLAN kit, Meraki MX Firewall, Meraki MS Switch and a MR Access Point.

They wanted to have the entire system fully tested before it was released to the public.

Approach:

Led by World Wide WiFi Experts, a test plan was written in multidisciplinary context.

Solution:

Many performance, connectivity, and security tests were carried out between the nodes, as well as the LAN and WLAN (dual band) and the interface WAN.

In a test environment, two LAN segments were created, with on each side a complete WLAN kit. Both LAN areas had a properly configured WAN interface.

After configuring the WLAN nodes via Meraki’s dashboard, the clients were configured on both a dual band connection with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and on a single band connection with 2.4 GHz and separate 5 GHz.

Application and security tests were carried out with, amongst others, an Ixia node (IxLoad).
