So Whats Wrong with WiFi? 1. WiFi signals are flaky 2. Performance is erratic 3. Coverage isnt ubiquitous 4. Cumbersome to configure 5. Time-consuming to deploy 6. Expensive

802.11n Wi­Fi on Steroids (300 Mbps) Combines multiple WiFi 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
