Part Two of our 802.11ac video blog series with Matthew Gast
Matthew Gast, Aerohive’s Director of Product Management, and the author of 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide (O'Reilly), has just completed writing his latest book: 802.11ac: A Survival Guide (O'Reilly). With the arrival of 802.11ac technology and Matthew’s passion for discussing it, we decided to do a seven-part video series on the topic.
This second video provides you with the information you need to get your network ready for 802.11ac. Part of planning for 802.11ac is looking at your existing wired network infrastructure – mainly the state of your Ethernet switches and cabling.
As you plan your move to 802.11ac, Matthew highlights the importance of knowing what devices you expect to be connecting to the network and the policies you want to enable for them. He also emphasizes the importance of deciding which areas in your network can benefit the most from 802.11ac, due to increased performance.
