Creating the Demand for
Gigabit Wireless Networks
o Doubling in mobile data consumed every 14
months
o Doubling of connected devices per network every
12-18 months
o 21% CAGR in access point installations 20112016
o Greater video content

What has Limited the
Availability of Gigabit Wireless Networks
o
Bandwidth
o
Signal processing technology realized on consumer chipsets
o
Standards: new amendments to the 1997 802.11 Standard
will address this
- IEEE 802.11ac – very high throughput at 6 GHz
- IEEE 802.11ad (WiGig)- Very high throughput at 60 GHz
o
Testing for interoperability

802.11ac Very High
Throughput at 6 GHz
o
Increased Spectrum in 5-6 GHz band– twenty two 20 MHz
channels, up thirty four this year
o
Improved on chip processingWave 1: 80 MHz channels, 3 spatial streams, <1 Gb/s MAC
Wave 2: 160 MHz channels, 4 spatial streams or more, >1
Gb/s MAC throughput
o
Standards based beamforming
o
“ac” client device are presently available (smartphones, USB
adaptors, gateways). Enterprise grade access points later in
2013. Laptops and tablets from leading vendors in 2013

802.11ad Very High
Throughput at 60GHz
o
7 GHz of spectrum available at 60 GHz
o
Greater than 1 Gb/s MAC throughput (WiGig)
o
Restricted to in room applications. Device-to-device functions
such as wireless docking, and linking to displays such as
tablets to projector in a classroom
o
Wireless Gigabit Alliance now “unified” with Wi-Fi Alliance.
Certification of WiGig products expected in 2013

Optical Wireless
o
Lots of bandwidth, Secure, free from electromagnetic
interference
o
Infrared Data Association (IrDA) promoting multi gigabit
connectivity up to 3 meters
o
VLC – Uses white LEDS as transmitters
o
