devices more frequently brought into the office… design WLANs with at least four times today’s access point density.”

“More than half of Wi-Fi devices last year used 5 GHz, and that will grow to close to one hundred percent saturation in the next five years.”

—Phil Solis, ABI Research

“5 GHz Wi-Fi Is Now Mainstream”

FIXED APs AREBECOMING OBSOLETE


Traditional APs are fixed with no upgrade path from 11n to 11ac
