Another year, another challenge. 2014 is the year of Gigabit Wi-Fi. With the development of 802.11ac, wireless LANs surpass the Gigabit speed barrier. 

Only ten years ago, the idea of Wi-Fi as the primary access technology was little more than a vision. The WLANs of that period were designed primarily as convenience networks and were not well-suited for the operation of mission-critical applications and access. Over time, WLANs became increasingly pervasive and architectures evolved to better manage and contain WLAN traffic.  

802.11n introduced high throughput, enhanced methods to overcome interference, and the level of reliability needed to make Wi-Fi into a foundation-layer infrastructure technology. WLANs had become required everywhere in organizations. 

The 802.11ac standard has arrived, promising throughput of up to 1Gb per device. However, optimizing your mobile users' application experience requires much more than high speed Wi-Fi, and choosing the wrong network architecture can cost you now and into the future. Download the 2014 WLAN Buyer's Guide to understand what Gigabit Wi-Fi really means for your network and how you should approach your adoption of next-gen mobile networking.

We will discuss how the landscape of your network has changed with the introduction of mobile working, learning, purchasing, point of care etc., and what further impact you can expect from BYOD and the Internet of Things in the near future. The paper will help you to discover what your key requirements should be from a technology, 10 things that your wireless LAN should do for you, and how to effectively use the RFP process to select the best solution for your needs. 

Now it's your turn. Go ahead and share here in comments, or on our customer community, what Gigabit Wi-Fi initiatives you have underway.
