15. The Need for Speed

16. How Do I Get More Speed?.11b.11g.11n.11ac

17. ©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 17 What Makes 802.11ac Go Faster? 4 The Fantastic 256 QAM MU-MIMO More Spatial Streams Wider Channels

18. Variations of 802.11ac ©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 18 WAVE 1WAVE 2 160MHz Channels MU-MIMO 4 Spatial Streams 80 MHz Channels 3 Spatial Streams 256 QAM

19. ©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 19 WAVE 1WAVE 2 What Does It All Mean? 1.3 Gbps 3.5 Gbps

20. 802.11ac Channels ©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 20 Wider channels support higher data rates Double the channel width from 40 MHz to 80 MHz and the data rates double The 802.11ac standard requires first-wave products to support 80 MHz channels But that does not mean that it is mandatory to use them! Subsequent products may support up to 160 MHz channels But is that even feasible?

21. New Proposed U-NII Bands & Channels ©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 21 U-NII-1 (100 MHz) U-NII-1 (100 MHz) U-NII-2A (100 MHz) U-NII-2A (100 MHz) U-NII-2C (255 MHz) U-NII-2C (255 MHz) New Band U-NII-2B (120 MHz) New Band U-NII-2B (120 MHz) New Band U-NII-4 (75 MHz) New Band U-NII-4 (75 MHz) U-NII-3 (125 MHz) U-NII-3 (125 MHz) 5.150 GHz 5.250 GHz5.350 GHz 5.470 GHz 5.725 GHz 5.85 GHz5.925 GHz

22. Transmit Beamforming & MU-MIMO ©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 22 SU-MIMO directs energy to a single device MU-MIMO transmits independent streams to multiple devices Beamforming steers an individual stream to one receiver

23. Less Network Congestion ©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 23 Faster 802.11ac speeds means less congestion & less time to transmit data Less Layer 2 overhead means less congestion time Better use of medium contention when MU-MIMO becomes more prevalent Less congestion equates to better use of the shared medium Not only by 802.11ac clients but 802.11a/n clients as well

24. 802.11ac Wave 2 Challenges: Clients ©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 24 There are only 4 consumer devices that partially support Wave 2! Even next generation client devices will most likely lack 160 MHz channels and 4 spatial stream support In order to reap the benefits of Wave 2 and get a 33% performance boost, the client device NEEDS 4 spatial stream antenna Not only by 802.11ac clients but 802.11a/n clients as well

25. Wave 1 or Wave 2? ©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 25 Check organizational needs first Even next generation client devices will most likely lack 160 MHz channels and 4 spatial stream support

35. Tiny Bluetooth device that sends out a location ID › Can be standalone or part of a bigger device (computer, phone, tablet) Triggers an action on mobile devices › “Welcome to Aerohive HQ!” Transmissions are separate from Wi-Fi (but still use 2.4 GHz) What is an iBeacon?

36. Location › Absolute › Coordinate system Proximity › Relative position/motion › No coordinates needed › No mapping of physical space to contents iBeacons use Proximity Proximity is NOT location!!!!

37. ©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 37 Interact with the world around you! Many applications › Queue management (retail) › Mapping › Guides › Games › What it does is limited only by your imagination Low cost makes it easy to have large numbers of iBeacons What can you do with an iBeacon?

38. Aerohive ® NETWORKS 2016 & Beyond ©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 38

39. ©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 39 Target: Low power/extended range/low data rate › Meter and sensor control & data › Extended range requirements (~900 MHz has longer range) Possible applications: utility meters, HVAC, alarms, lighting control, temperature/air sensors, location tags… In addition to low power, special features for IoT-type applications (high numbers of devices, but low bandwidth) 802.11ah Sub 1 Ghz Tentative spectral map (per geography)

40. ©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 40 Standard being developed for high density deployments (both AP & client) Goal: increase throughput by 4x › Efficiency gains, not speed gains › Target is average per-station throughput, not total network throughput Overlay on older 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz PHYs (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) – compatible with older technology › Experimental results: 5-10x gain Timeline: Estimate Draft 2.0 in 2017? 802.11ax High Efficiency
