By 2015, 80% of newly installed wireless networks will be obsolete because of a lack of proper planning. Top Wireless Issues That May Derail Your Mobile Strategy. Paul DeBeasi, October 2011 ” “ Gartner
4 Billion WiFi enabled devices in use Today. 7 Billion by Hot Spot for every 150 people Today 1 Hot Spot for every 20 people by 2018.
Tablets are WI-FI devices

Wireless Connection Future Challenges : Office: Multiple Gadget. 10Mb per user. Home: Home Automation, UHDTV, Multiple Gadgets Schools: K-12, E-Learning Hospitals: IP based Equipment. Centralize Hospital Records. E- Consultation. Utility/Agencies: IP Based devices, Real time HD video reporting. Wireless CCTV Convention: 1000’s of users with tablets, smartphones, laptops,… Airport: Crazy
Wi-Fi will not advance in 2.4GHz 2.4GHz – a 3 lane road with potholes 5GHz – a 24 lane freeway 675Mbps Total Bandwidth 5.4Gbps Total Bandwidth
Wi-fi standards continue to advance Wi-Fi Standards Evolution b 11Mbps n 600Mbps g 54Mbps ac >1Gbps GHz 5GHz Faster >1 Gbps Wi-Fi standards today New standards are at 5GHz and beyond Mbps ad >5Gbps 60GHz a 54Mbps n 300Mbps
Shannon’s Law states that the maximum attainable error-free data speed, in bits per second (bps), is a function of the signal-to-noise ratio and bandwidth. C = B log2< (1 + S/N)
MIMO How fast is 2x2 and 3x3 11ac? 2x2 = up to 867Mbps data rates per radio 3x3 = up to 1.3Gbps data rates per radio 11ac is about 3X faster than 11n
Wi-fi performance is limited by the device Most BYOD clients are 1x1 or 2x2 and cannot take advantage of 3 streams in a 3x3 Wi-Fi infrastructure Device2.4GHz5GHzAntennasMax Rate Media Players (iPod Touch)XSome1x Mbps Smartphones – low endX1x165Mbps Smartphones – high endXX1x1150Mbps Tablets – low endX1x165Mbps Tablets – high end (iPad)XX2x2300Mbps Laptops – low endXMost2x2300Mbps Laptops – mid/high endXX3x3450Mbps Most BYOD clients are 1x1 or 2x2 and cannot take advantage of 3 streams in a 3x3 Wi-Fi infrastructure
