78% of United
States Wi-Fi users report that they want to upgrade their
systems for better range and/or throughput.
-
35% of all
Wi-Fi chipset shipments are expected to be 802.11n in 2008.
-
90% of all Wi-Fi chipset shipments are expected to be 802.11n
by 2012.
The long awaited 802.11n HT (High
Throughput) draft amendment is very near ratification. The Wi-Fi
Alliance began testing and certifying 802.11n Draft 2.0 products
in June 2007 and so far has certified over 90 products.

Numerous unique
design and deployment challenges await WLAN professionals as
they prepare to integrate 802.11n technology into pre-existing
wireless networks or deploy 802.11n "greenfield" wireless
networks.
Just a few of these
tough challenges include:
-
Power over
Ethernet considerations
-
Wired backhaul
considerations
-
IDS
implications
-
Backwards
compatibility - multiple protection mechanisms
-
AP placement
and channel re-use patterns
Beginning in early 2008, AirSpy will begin
teaching 802.11n draft - PHY and MAC layer mechanisms in a new
3-day class. AirSpy would like to gauge the initial interest in
a VERY advanced 802.11n class. If you are interested in
attending this one-of a kind class to get a jump on 802.11n
technology, please fill out the form below:
