With the new 802.11ac Wi-Fi technologies, the IEEE standard takes many of the best techniques the Wi-Fi industry has learned about 802.11n and has made extraordinary improvements on them. This paper provides a detailed look at these improvements such as wider channels, higher-rate modulation and higher-level MIMO.

802.11ac is well on its way to becoming the standard for next-generation Wi-Fi. The gigabit speed, improved capacity and reliability that 802.11ac brings to wireless LANs (WLANs) are amplified as mobile users, devices and application usage continue to grow rapidly.

Ensuring that all wireless network clients get the service levels they need is a major challenge — especially when smartphones, tablets and other clients control their own connectivity and roaming decisions. ClientMatch™ technology is an RF management technology that puts the WLAN infrastructure in control of client connectivity and roaming. This paper provides an overview ...

Two key issues are driving today’s strategic-industry customers: the need for cost reduction and increased efficiency from their business operations in light of limited funding and the need to provide more services that need high bandwidth without impacting existing services. Some customers are considering migration from a predominantly SDH/SONET network to an IP/MPLS packet network. ...
