Abstract:

 

Wi-Fi networks have grown indispensable. Many workers are away from their desks more often than not, and Wi-Fi is the glue that connects them to their corporate networks. The glue is only going to become more important as smart phones and other devices increasingly ship with Wi-Fi connections. Workers have come to consider reliable Wi-Fi access a right and a necessity.

 

All these conditions begin to build a case for deploying the latest emerging Wi-Fi standard: Draft 2.0 802.11n.

 

We now invite you to compare the leading 802.11n vendors as they present their cases.  We urge to you contact each of the vendors to gain a better understanding of how their solution can help you through 2009.

802.11n has the bandwidth potential to support the gamut of enterprise multimedia applications. But given that the RF medium is shared, not switched, and inherently prone to interference, how do you control your airspace to ensure consistent, high-quality performance? Panelists discuss how to apply RF management tools and Wi-Fi QoS mechanisms and also recommend configurations and settings to help you get the most out of 802.11n.

With 802.11n’s high throughput, Wi-Fi has become a candidate for replacing wired Ethernet in the local-area access network. This makes it even more important that Wi-Fi networks support very high availability. What has the industry done to ensure Ethernet-like availability in 802.11n Wi-Fi systems? Panelists also make some HA configuration recommendations.
