For the most part, Wi-Fi meshing has been a complete flop within enterprise network environments. While the idea sounds good: no more Ethernet cabling to Wi-Fi access points - poor performance, instability and complexity have made Wi-Fi meshing a non starter. But things change. Technical advances in Wi-Fi relative to signal control, beam forming/steering and interference avoidance combined with the new 802.11n standard that delivers dramatically higher connection rates are breathing new life into meshing. Smart Wi-Fi meshing opens to door to a new economic model for building a robust wireless LAN by cutting in half the cost and deployment time associated with traditional implementations while delivering three times the performance. This session will examine how meshing and 802.11n are being used to change the wireless LANscape
