Carrier Wi-Fi gets smarter? : New technologies assuage customer dissatisfaction
May 28, 2009
Consumers, enterprises both small and large, and carriers everywhere are looking to Wi-Fi to deliver wire-like connectivity over the last 100 meters. But doing this over an unlicensed spectrum (Wi-Fi) where there is a lot of interference has been next to impossible. Yet vendors are already bringing 802.11n products to market as the industry continues to wait for the standard to be ratified in 2011, and they’re making promises of lofty performance numbers that simply can’t be counted on all of the time.
Recent Wi-Fi breakthroughs are changing all this. Innovations in the area of smart “beamforming” are proving to be revolutionary (not evolutionary) in automatically dealing with interference and range issues – providing predictable performance at range...
