NextHop Technologies® Inc., the leader in enterprise mobility and networking solutions, today announced support for 802.11n, the next and fourth generation standard for wireless local area networking. By taking advantage of 802.11n technology, enterprise wireless equipment will deliver data rates up to six or seven times faster, double their range of communication and improve the quality of signal coverage when compared with legacy 802.11a/b/g devices.
With these enhancements, 802.11n promises the opportunity for entirely wireless office environments where the wireless medium is robust and will not limit application performance. It offers enterprises a new point of inflection to enhance business productivity. By 2011, Dell ‘Oro Group predicts that 100 percent of access points used in enterprise deployments will be based on 802.11n. As a wireless industry leader, NextHop will be at the forefront of making 802.11n available to businesses that plan to make mobility pervasive in the enterprise.
According to Craig Mathias, a principal with the wireless and mobile advisory firm Farpoint Group, “802.11n is the most important development in the history of 802.11, after the creation of the original standard, of course. With the Wi-Fi Alliance providing certification based on Draft 2.0 of the standard, the time to plan for 802.11n is now. Users and network managers alike are going to be amazed and delighted with the performance they see.”
802.11n feature benefits:
• High throughput 40 MHz channels offering 300 Mbps raw data rates with 2 spatial streams, scaling to 600Mbps with 4 spatial streams.
• Enabling MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) operation, leverages multi-path propagation for clearer, more robust, signaling.
• Dual band 2.4 and 5 GHz operation for mixed or parallel deployment.
• Packet aggregation and block acknowledgement protocols to reduce power consumption and data collisions. Wi-Fi Alliance estimates a 15 percent to 40 percent improvement in battery life depending on the application characteristics.
• Backward compatibility with 802.11a/b/g for support of legacy devices.
“The mobile world is becoming hyper-connected,” said PG Menon, vice president of marketing for NextHop Technologies. “802.11n is going to give a tremendous boost to the way people use applications on enterprise networks. The industry has rarely faced a more profound opportunity for transformation.”
NextHop’s 802.11n support will be available as part of CompleteMobilityTM, NextHop’s industry leading enterprise Wi-Fi solution, in the first quarter 2008.
