Wireless channel architecture

Nogirs — Mon, 16 May 2011 17:47:30 +0000

In your article of designing 802.11n, you state ‘Channel architecture: Nearly all products use multiple channels to create micro-cells,
but at least two vendors use a single channel to create one big RF layer. The latter clearly cuts
roam time when clients move, but trade-offs are hotly debated.’

What are teh trade-offs that are hotly debated and where can I find articles to read? Thanks (enjoy your articles and tips)

Testing wireless network speed

How can I test the speed of my wireless .11N network to see if I am getting my full bandwidth? How can I increase the speed if it is slow or showing latency?

Security concerns around .11n Networking?

ITKE — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 17:32:59 +0000

I’ve heard a lot of conflicting reports around whether .11n actually is much more secure than its .11x brethren. Any first-hand experience in starting to deploy it,and any tips on whether I can rest easier at night with it over a Ethernet getup?

What Hardware is required for implementing a wireless lan for a convention center?

CBETexSolutions — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 22:41:29 +0000

My name is Barry Novack I am with CBE Tex Solutions Consultants. We are representatives of The Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation or S.P.J.A. We are trying to improve their wireless capabilities at the LA Convention Center. They would like to upgrade to newer equipment and be able to upload, and change events, or programs in real time to their Anime website, during the conference. However, due to topology setup and building restrictions, the company doesn’t have a method in place, that meets their expectations. They also want to implement RFID in order to provide more detailed demographic information, for their industry. Their goals: are to upgrade to newer equipment that is more efficient, save money and time on resources, if possible have hot spots during conferences, and events for attendees, and improve throughput and performance. If you could give us any input from you companies experience as to what hardware is needed and required, to work with RFID, what standard of 802.11 would you recommend with estimation on how much you think it would cost? It would have to support 674 staff members. The convention center had very think re-enforce concrete walls that are running two T1 lines between two buildings. One Ti line is used for registration, the other line is used for Internet access for their staff members to communicate on the Internet. We have been trying to get blueprints, or schematics of the two building and their dimensions, from S.P.J.A with no luck so far. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks Barry Novack Cell 619 991-9108

I’m interested as to IT pros experiences with various wireless AP vendors: What equipment have you found to work well with the .11n standard, and what your experience has been like working with vendors. Were most willing to allow you to try-before-you buy for a major deployment?

Expanding Wi-Fi Network Coverage

CanitoCool — Wed, 20 May 2009 11:53:39 +0000

I am just learning now how wifi works. My question is the following: If I configure a Wireless Router in N mode to maximize the range of the coverage of the router, the only wireless that can connect to the wifi router is only those with N wireless card or the G wireless card can get connected even that the router was configure straight to N mode?
