WHAT’S COMING?
©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 3
At the end of 2013
there were more
mobile devices
than people on
earth - SAP
“ “
By 2020, it is
predicted that 24
Billion devices will
be connected to
the Internet. The
vast majority will
use some form of
wireless for access - GIGACOM
“ “

Ramping Up for “The Internet of Things”
Wi-Fi Predictions
Number of client devices that were NEVER connected
before is expected to grow exponentially and is becoming
GREATER than number of existing devices

What Does It All Mean?
1.3Gbps
3.5Gbps
802.11ac Channels
©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 20
Wider channels support higher data rates
• Double the channel width from 40 MHz to 80 MHz and the data rates double
The 802.11ac standard requires first-wave products to support 80
MHz channels
• But that does not mean that it is mandatory to use them!
Subsequent products may support up to 160 MHz channels
• But is that even feasible?
New Proposed U-NII Bands & Channels

Transmit Beamforming & MU-MIMO
©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 22
SU-MIMO directs energy to a single device
MU-MIMO transmits independent streams to multiple devices
Beamforming steers an individual stream to one receiver
Less Network Congestion
©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 23
Faster 802.11ac speeds means less congestion & less time to
transmit data
• Less Layer 2 overhead means less congestion time
• Better use of medium contention when MU-MIMO becomes more prevalent
Less congestion equates to better use of the shared medium
• Not only by 802.11ac clients but 802.11a/n clients as well
802.11ac Wave 2 Challenges: Clients
©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 24
There are only 4 consumer devices that partially support Wave 2!
• Even next generation client devices will most likely lack 160 MHz channels and 4 spatial stream support
In order to reap the benefits of Wave 2 and get a 33%
performance boost, the client device NEEDS 4 spatial stream antenna
• Not only by 802.11ac clients but 802.11a/n clients as well
Wave 1 or Wave 2?
©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 25
Check organizational needs first
• Even next generation client devices will most likely lack 160 MHz channels and 4 spatial stream support

What’s Next
©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 34
Tiny Bluetooth device that
sends out a location ID
› Can be standalone or partof a bigger device (computer,phone, tablet)
Triggers an action on mobiledevices
› “Welcome to Aerohive HQ!”
Transmissions are separate fromWi-Fi (but still use 2.4 GHz)
What is an iBeacon?
Location
› Absolute
› Coordinate system
Proximity
› Relative position/motion
› No coordinates needed
› No mapping of physical space to contents
iBeacons use Proximity
Proximity is NOT location!!!!
©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 37
Interact with the world around you!
Many applications
› Queue management (retail)
› Mapping
› Guides
› Games
› What it does is limited only byyour imagination
Low cost makes it easy to havelarge numbers of iBeacons
What can you do with an iBeacon?

2016 & Beyond

©2016 Aerohive Networks Confidential 39
• Target: Low power/extended range/low data rate
› Meter and sensor control & data
› Extended range requirements (~900 MHz has longer range)
• Possible applications: utility meters, HVAC, alarms, lighting
control, temperature/air sensors, location tags…
• In addition to low power, special features for IoT-type applications (high numbers of devices, but low bandwidth)

Standard being developed for highdensity deployments (both AP &client)
Goal: increase throughput by 4x› Efficiency gains, not speed gains
› Target is average per-station throughput,not total network throughput
Overlay on older 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz PHYs (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) –compatible with older technology› Experimental results: 5-10x gain
Timeline: Estimate Draft 2.0 in 2017?
