Wi-Fi ac (802.11ac) is the next generation Wi-Fi standard that promises gigabit speeds through improvements like wider channels and multi-user MIMO. There are four key drivers for its adoption: 1) increased internet usage like online video will strain current networks, 2) the rise of Wi-Fi only portable devices, 3) more smart TVs and devices connecting via Wi-Fi, and 4) current and future congestion problems as more devices use existing Wi-Fi bands. Wi-Fi ac aims to alleviate congestion by moving to the less crowded 5GHz spectrum exclusively, though this band may also become overloaded. It could allow for improved streaming of high quality video wirelessly throughout homes and
With millions of hotspots deployed around the world, and ever growing integration of Wi-Fi into wireless devices, Wi-Fi is rapidly becoming ubiquitous. This presentation discusses Wi-Fi evolution, its critical role in addressing the looming 1000x data challenge, enabling smart connected homes, and exciting new frontiers it is poised to explore.

We’re barely out of the gates with 802.11n, and we already have two new emerging standards that are likely to shake up the wireless world: 802.11ac and 802.11ad. 802.11ac is in many ways a "lessons learned" from 802.11n. It employs many of the same techniques to achieve even greater data rates, while requiring less power than with 802.11n – one of its biggest challenges. 802.11ad will expand data rates even further, taking advantage of new spectrum, which will enable entirely new uses cases for 802.11.
The future of Wi-Fi remains very strong. It is already way beyond critical mass, and with 802.11ac and 802.11ad it will remain the go-to-solution for the last 100 yards of any data network, and perhaps more. Users are now dependent on Wi-Fi, and there's nothing even close in the market that's ready to take its place. Please join us to discover how these new specifications will further entrench 802.11, where they’re likely to be used first, and whether or not you should be preparing yourself for a technology upgrade in the near future.
In this web seminar, we will cover:
- Current timeline in 802.11 development
- Characteristics of 802.11ac and 802.11ad
- Improvements over 802.11n
- Potential use cases for 802.11ac and 802.11ad
What you will learn:
- Whether 802.11ac and 802.11ad will have an enterprise footprint
- How 802.11ac and 802.11ad will integrate with current 802.11 deployments
- When you should be planning for a technology upgrade

Broadband world forum service delivery framework KPN presentationAlan Quayle
KPN's presentation at the Broadband World Forum 2010 at the session "Service Delivery Platform Evolution Revolution, Convolution, Amalgamation, Elimination or Virtualization."
KPN vision is to provide services to any device on any network at anytime. Eventually, it moves to "Everything-is-a-Service" model. From a user perspective consistent, on-par (Apple setting the bar) UX is one of the most important buying (and usage) motivation. Customer satisfaction efforts demand co-operation/partnership with others in the value chain, among which are (independent) developers, VARs, users, verticals, etc. Hence, services will encompass assets and capabilities from many different sources. Critical for this paradigm is fulfillment(including activation, registration, log-on), assurance and billing.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

• Video is expected to be the main driver of internet traffic growth
• Unlike web browsing, email, software downloads video is time sensitive
10. Portable devices rely heavily on Wi-Fi
Tablets Smartphones Ultrabooks
• Ultrabook laptops often lack Ethernet ports
• Tablets and smart phones users rely heavily on home Wi-Fi and hotspots
• These devices are just emerging so Wi-Fi networks are only going to come under
more strain

Connected TVs BD STB Console Media streamer
• Perhaps not all but certainly many of these devices will be connecting to
the internet over Wi-Fi.
14. Stationary devices are opting for Wi-Fi
• Those that Smart TVs and games consoles that use Wi-Fi have higher
connection rates
• Suggesting users are not only reluctant to use Ethernet, but are comfortable
with Wi-Fi
• HD Video is a key service and improving performance will be essential going
forward.
17. The congestion problem
• The 2.4Ghz spectrum,
used by Wi-Fi b/g/n is
already congested.
• Congestion causes
interference which has
a detrimentl effect on
users’ Wi-Fi experience
• Less important for
applications which are
not time sensitive
18. Congestion is already a problem
• Wi-Fi ac attempts to solve this congestion problem by abandoning the 2.4Ghz
spectrum.
• It uses the 5Ghz spectrum exclusively.
• At present 5Ghz is far less busy, so moving over to this spectrum should
benefit end users.
19. Number of devices using
WiFi (a/b/g/n)
The negative impact of new connected devices
User experience
20. Edging closer to that tipping point
• Almost at the point where Wi-Fi n is no longer a solution, but a problem
• Some households closer than others
• The average user does not understand the situation
• Expect Wi-Fi to just work
22. Wi-Fi ac can solve the congestion problem…
Wi-Fi n can only send and receive data from one device
at a time.
• Sending bursts of data to each in turn
• The more devices the slower data transfer is as it takes the router longer
to come back round to the original device
Wi-Fi ac can the demands of multiple devices
simultaneously due to multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO)
• Data is sent and recieved from each device, which receives the full
bandwidth on offer continuously.
• This should speed up data transfer and improve the user experience.
MU-MIMO is one of the major innovations of the Wi-Fi ac
standard
• However it will only be fully ratified in the second draft which will be
ratified after 2012
23. …. But expect 5Ghz to become clogged
• Some European operators that have adopted the 5Ghz spectrum for their
IPTV services are already reporting seeing congestion
• Inevitably the more devices that use the 5Ghz spectrum the greater the
chance of interference and congestion.
• The challenge of what to do once this becomes a problem needs to be dealt
with ahead of time.
• Dual band solutions may be one solution.
• The short range ad standard could be another
24. Behaviour will adapt to new throughput
New technology:
Increased
Throughput
Throughput deficit Temporary surplus
New applications Increased usage of
old applications
25. Video will be accessible from everywhere
• Potent cocktail of:
• More devices, used in multiple rooms
• New lighter form factors will increase portability
• More reliable connections
• Greater throughput
• Plethora of services
26. Conclusions
Wi-Fi ac is a major step forward and can support multiple
devices much better than n.
• However, to avoid congestion down the line use of wireline technologies
should be deployed where they can.
Smartphones will drive adoption of Wi-Fi ac
• They will benefit most as they tend not to have room for multiple antenna
Inside the home the major hindrance to take-up of Wi-Fi
ac will be broadband operators.
• These operators should seriously consider rolling out this technology as it
should significantly impact subscriber experience.
