So what s driving.11ac? The airwaves are a shared medium to improve performance, you need to be spectrum efficient 802.11ac is all about optimization to do that GET OFF THE AIR STOP TALKING The goal is faster throughput for everyone ability to support lots of Wi-Fi tablets, phones and laptops - Moving data faster via these techniques: Spatial Streams Sending data out of more than 1 antenna Channel Bonding using more than 1 channel 256 QAM - More complex modulation Guard interval cutting down on symbol time MIMO Multiple Input Multiple Output Use of multiple radios at the same time Tx/Rx MU-MIMO Multi-User MIMO Sending data to MORE than one user at a time 6

AP2800/3800 I series antenna system (cover removed) Previously in the controller Access Point radios were defined as Radio 0 = 2.4 GHz <OR> 5 GHz Radio 1 = 5.0 GHz Using Flexible Radio Assignment Radio 0 can be configured as 2.4 GHz (default) or as an additional 5 GHz radio. If configured as a 5 GHz radio the 2.4 GHz radio is disabled and the 5 GHz micro-cell antennas are used. Micro-cell antenna is 6 dbi @ 5 GHz Macro-cell antenna is 5 dbi @ 5 GHz 9
