What Comes Next in Wi-Fi: Why Increasing Speed Isn’t Enough

The modern “mobile-first” enterprise network requires a mind shift for networking professionals. The explosive growth of mobile devices and BYOD means that apps dictate how networks are used, and networks have to come to the people, not the other way around. However, optimizing your mobile user experience requires much more than just high speed Wi-Fi. Building robust WLANs for capacity and flexibility, with security, privacy and visibility, are challenges that IT professionals are facing as they evaluate new Wi-Fi standards and the complex combinations of radios, streams, and new technology like Multi-User MIMO. This session will cover 802.11ac and upcoming WLAN standards, iBeacons and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and building networks for an all-wireless workplace.
