• IP rating (Ingress Protection) » IP50: dust protect, not liquids protect

(EAP210 with such metal housing) » IP68: dust total protect, liquids long

term immersion protect (OWL-Series)

• Direction-oriented Antenna » Built-in vs. Detachable Antenna

available for indoor APs » Omni-Antenna and Patch-Antenna

Omni-Antenna and Patch-Antenna available for outdoor Aps for different location applications

IEEE 802.11ac

IEEE 802.11 Revolution • IEEE 802.11n:

Higher-throughput improvements using MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output antennas) and operating in 2.4GHz and 5GHz band (Sep. 2009)

• IEEE 802.11ac: Very High Throughput <6 GHz; potential improvements over 802.11n: better modulation scheme (expected ~10% throughput increase), wider channels (estimate in future time 80 to 160 MHz), multi user MIMO; only operating in 5GHz band (Dec. 2013)


2.4GHz vs. 5GHz Band in 802.11n/ac


802.11ac 802.11n

2.4GHz 5GHz 5GHz

operates both in the 2.4GHz and 5GHZ band

only operates in the 5 GHz band

Electromagnetic interference at 2.4GHz, ex. Bluetooth, Microwave Oven…etc.

802.11ac 802.11n Support for up to 4 data streams

Support for up to 8 data streams

For 11ac Wave 1, most products are 3 stream (Best balance between price, performance, and feasibility)

Higher Order Modulation


802.11ac 802.11n Support for 64-QAM 6 bits/symbol

Support for 256-QAM 8 bits/symbol

Very High Throughput • 802.11ac Wave 1 is 3 times faster than 802.11n (150Mbps to 433.3Mbps) • Incredible 802.11ac Wave 2 is upcoming in 2015

Max. Data Rate 150x2=300Mbps 433.3x3=1300Mbps 866.7x4=3466Mbps

IEEE 802.11ac Overviews


• Data rates and speed

• Note: A second stream doubles the theoretical data rate, a 3rd 3x, etc. • Note: MCS 9 is not applicable to all channel width/spatial stream combinations

Wi-Fi Optimization Features


Airtime Fairness

• All clients, regardless of standards supported, obtain roughly the same amount of airtime • 11n client are given a slight preference that 11n could kept its better performance


Band Steering

• AP will steer clients that are capable of operating in the 5GHz band away from 2.4GHz networks and towards 5GHz networks

• The right AP rejects 2.4GHz connections from the client, even if the client were to know the SSID and manually connect. This forces all 5GHz users to only connect to 5GHz network in essence.


Optimal Client Filtering

• To filter out clients that will negatively impact the AP’s overall throughput • Through a set of the thresholds

» such as Dropped Packet Threshold, Transmission Rate Threshold, and Receiving RSSI Threshold


Low RSSI Low Transmission Rate

Long Packet Delay

Architecture Planning

Administrator Level

• Administrator and related instruments are always located at machine room. • All instrument configuration are set in the very beginning and are adjustable in the future. • If there is any network error, administrator monitors them according to the reports and logs.

Deployment Level


• Before AP deployment, administrator should make sure the enough amount of corresponding ports from switches.

• AP deployment is not unique as long as it meets customer requirements based on the environment, indoors and outdoors.

Users Level


• Different location might have different user behaviors, like conference room, the hotel room, the beach, the university, or the airport.

• Administrator should keep in mind what users’ roles are and decide the corresponding policies.
