Ebook: 802.11ax for Dummies: Aerohive Special Edition

802.11ax is the next fast-approaching Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard that addresses today’s biggest Wi-Fi challenges: high density and performance. It addresses those challenges by increasing capacity by up to four times and improving spectral efficiency to benefit both 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) and 5 GHz bands in a variety of environments.

802.11ax will handle client density more efficiently through a new channel-sharing capability, improve battery life using negoti- ated wake-time scheduling between APs and clients to preserve energy, and deliver efficiency improvements with at least four times more throughput than 802.11ac.

In this book, you learn about the imminently approaching 802.11ax standard, the key enabling technologies and enhance- ments in the standard, and Aerohive’s family of 802.11ax access point solutions.
