4 Wireless LANs: What Matters Most Don't know n/a Scalability Management Easy integration Security Cost Reliability

5 So What’s Wrong with Wi-Fi? 1.Wi-Fi signals are flaky 2.Performance is erratic 3.Coverage isn’t ubiquitous 4.Cumbersome to configure 5.Time-consuming to deploy 6.Expensive

6 SME Market  Feature-rich  Simple to install  Affordable  Reliable  Multiple APs  100s-1000s users  Little IT staff Limited Choices SME CONSUMER/SOHO  Cheap  No features  Hard to manage  Single AP  <10 users FORTUNE 500  Costly  Cumbersome  Complex  Designed for 10,000+ users UNFORTUNATE 50,000

n Primer  Wi-Fi on Steroids (300 Mbps)  Combines multiple Wi-Fi radios within a single system  5Ghz radio for n & a (300 Mbps)  2.4Ghz radio for b, g, n (300 Mbps)  5Ghz = MUCH cleaner airspace, 23 non-overlapping channels (vs. 3 non-overlapping channels with b/g)  Leverages “spatial multiplexing”, channel bonding and other advanced techniques to boost performance
