In this podcast we discuss the 802.11ac and other wireless specs.\n\nWe discuss the following questions:\n\n- So, what’s the deal with this 802.11ac? \n\n\n\n- These 802 dot whatever standards - where do they come from?\n\n\n- So this 802.11ac is considered non-finalized. what does that mean?\n\n\n- I seem to get interference from things like wireless home phones. I know spectrum is involved. \n\n\n- So if I set my access point to run at 5GHz, will all my devices work? What do i need to understand to make it work?\n\n\n- What about range? You mentioned range limitations at 5 GHz.\n\n\n- Are there any ways to extend the range? I’ve heard about something called MIMO.\n\n\n- You mentioned 802.11a which is pretty old. Is the use of 5 GHz new?\n\n\n- When will we see 802.11ac products on the market?\n\n\n- What kinds of products from Apple? What are people saying?\n\n\n- What do you mean when you say potentially for the mobile devices?\n\nAlong with the Superbowl!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","author_name":"Professor","author_url":"http:\/\/gsnyder.libsyn.com","html":"
