Let’s sort through the hype around 802.11ax, the latest and greatest WLAN standard, what use cases it may be a fit for, issues with AP and client devices, and what to consider before you upgrade.
Our guests are Devin Akin, Principal WiFi Architect at Divergent Dynamics; and David Coleman, Senior Product Evangelist at Aerohive Networks.
We look at the biggest differences between the forthcoming 802.11ax and the current 802.11ac standard, why MU-MIMO isn’t as valuable as OFDMA, potential pitfalls in a legacy client environment, and other issues.
