CCIE or Null!

CWNP has posted a new 802.11ac video over on their YouTube Channel (CWNPTV)

This new video covers Planning for 802.11ac, if you still have not had a chance to go through the IEEE document or mess around with any new 802.11ac equipment this video is worth a play through. It covers the common pitfall of coverage vs capacity (Which does not only pertain to 802.11ac). I’ve seen many places and people simply deploy wireless based on signal strength, and if you have done more than a few wireless deployments you know signal strength & coverage is only half the battle. Capacity and throughput is the other half.

The video was posted almost a week ago and still has less than 200 views, so I am just trying to spread the word. As there are a few other useful videos in that Youtube channel, it’s a worthy resource that should not be overlooked for anyone wanting to be more familiar with 802.11 Wireless.

I was catching up on some of my subscribed YouTube channels this weekend when I checked in on the CWNP TV channel, I then found a new video that was posted by Tom Carpenter just last week. It’s a good 45 minute video that goes over some great fundamental details of the new 802.11ac standard.

It’s definitely worth a listen to if you have not done any other research on 802.11ac and you are curious at how 802.11ac is able achieve its new record of wireless speeds. It also explains that we will see 2 different waves of 802.11ac, wave 1 (going on now) and a wave 2 where will see even more improvements.

Now, I don’t want to ruin anything from the video but you can find the video here.
