How to Deploy with 802.11ac

As mentioned earlier, an important step in real deployment of WLAN is to improve the air efficiency in
channel, that is, to establish a higher connection between the client and the AP. Compared to 802.11a/b/g/n,
high date rate is also the advantage of 802.11ac.

Advantages and Features of 802.11ac

802.11ac technology alone cannot solve planning and deployment problems. To properly understand the
role of 802.11ac, first, let's look at how 802.11ac implementation boost the speed. In the case of the same
number of spatial streams, the following are two main factors, as shown in Table 5:
•
Wider channel width: increased from the maximum 40MHz of 802.11n to 80 MHz/160MHz
•
Higher modulation: increased from 802.11n 64 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) to 256
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)
