Made possible by Moore’s Law Device Evolution 802.11b/a 802.11g 802.11n 2003 1999 2007 2010 802.11ac Made possible by Moore’s Law Compute Power In 1999 there were no handhelds with Wi-Fi and very few laptops even used it as a standard. So not only was the presence low but the usage was very light. By 2003, .11g came along and some early handsets started to use it. It also started to become more standard in laptops and began to appear in some machine to machine communications. In 2007, the iPhone appeared and demonstrated that full-motion video, websites, real-time communication all translated to real, useful, business and life changing applications. Things could happen in real-time and these devices were powerful and inexpensive (by business standards). CIOs started to want them. Today, these devices are so robust they are replacing specialized, more expensive laptop technologies and even paper applications in some sectors (NFL playbooks are soon to be a thing of the past).
Huge Questions on Device Ownership and Management What is the difference between these iPads? Almost Everything Consumerization of IT Consumer devices qualified, bought and deployed by IT Replace legacy devices Lower HW costs Flexible, powerful Enable new working models BYOD Enable employees to bring their device of choice Not owned or controlled by IT Wide range of devices Driven by employee satisfaction and shifting of CapEx spend Embrace MDM Agents on Devices More App Flexibility Contain Network-based MDM Secure Apps Only (e.g. VDI, Citrix)
Limited Access Zone: The Third “Network” Corporate Network Guest Network NAC's role is to provide flexible mechanisms for protecting the corporate network while allowing a wide variety of endpoints to be used. Network protection will come in the form of a "limited access network," which will give them the flexibility to support some employee-owned devices and restrict access from others. For example, an organization may choose to allow Android v.2 and v.3 on the limited access network, but block access to Android v.1, simply because it does not have the resources to monitor vulnerabilities and maintain configuration guidelines on older operating systems. Some organizations may choose to explicitly block endpoints that have no place on corporate networks, such as gaming consoles. Most limited access networks will include WLANs as the primary access mechanism, as employee-owned smartphones and tablets will generally connect via Wi-Fi. A limited access network will function as a third network zone for most organizations, as it will be distinct from the production network and the wireless guest network. Whereas the guest network only allows Internet access, the limited access network will allow access to a subset of applications and data. NAC policies will limit access to sensitive applications and data, depending upon the device and possibly the user's role.

Increase AP Density/Reduce Power Increase AP Receive Sensitivity Use of Discreet Components: Better Quality Signal, Less APs, Balanced Links Using discrete radio components High-powered radios are discrete components, affording the opportunity to improve receive sensitivity by also using better receive components (e.g. Low- Noise Amp (LNA)) Superior receive sensitivity can improve upstream performance, especially of low-power consumer devices, balancing the AP/client link AP Tx AP Rx Increase AP Density/Reduce Power Marginal Performance AP Rx AP Rx AP Tx AP Tx AP Tx AP Rx Increase AP Receive Sensitivity
