Plan, deploy, and operate high-performance 802.11ac and 802.11n wireless networks
The new 802.11ac standard enables WLANs to deliver significantly higher performance. Network equipment manufacturers have refocused on 802.11ac- and 802.11n-compliant solutions, rapidly moving older versions of 802.11 toward "legacy" status. Now, there's a complete guide to planning, designing, installing, testing, and supporting 802.11ac and 802.11n wireless networks in any environment, for virtually any application.
Jim Geier offers practical methods, tips, and recommendations that draw on his decades of experience deploying wireless solutions and shaping wireless standards. He carefully introduces 802.11ac's fundamentally different design, site survey, implementation, and network configuration techniques, helping you maximise performance and avoid pitfalls.
Geier organises each phase of WLAN deployment into clearly defined steps, making the entire planning and deployment process easy to understand and execute. He illuminates key concepts and methods through realistic case studies based on current Cisco products, while offering tips and techniques you can use with any vendor's equipment. To build your skills with key tasks, you'll find several hands-on exercises relying on free or inexpensive tools.
Whether you're deploying an entirely new wireless network or migrating from older equipment, this guide contains all the expert knowledge you'll need to succeed.
