The progress of commercial 802.11ad products is disappointing. I’m imagining the high tech luxury house of the future having a central 10 gig fiber hub with a 2.4/5/60 GHz AP in the ceiling of every room, plus aluminum foil backed insulation in all the outside walls to block interference from neighbors WiFi and strand mounted carrier WiFi. Or maybe let the 2.4/5 GHz AP be central for legacy devices, and just the 60 GHz with advanced 32x32 MIMO ultrafast beamforming CMOS antennas in the per-room ceiling APs.

Several of us at dinner last night discussed possibly a "roundtable" approach maybe towards the end of the show. Someone moderate an open ended discussion about what kind of problems we are encountering to be the worst. For example, a problem I see coming down the pipe is once we get fiber to everyone's home, how do we give the customer as much bandwidth as possible to their wireless devices - especially with comcast modems around us polluting the wifi spectrum. Or I'm doing fiber in a college town. Lot of kids....they encourage their rich parents to buy them the latest and greatest $260 dollar linksys AC router - and there are 30 of them in my building that I pickup while doing a scan - - so none of them work. How do you deal with that. Open ended discussions like that. Since AFMUG is mostly a technical show, I think we should try to solve tech problems. WISPA has a similar discussion for both CEO (business) and technical roundtables....but AFMUG is kind of its own family. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chuck McCown To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2015 9:55 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Shout out to the mfg crew! Yep, thinking of a bit of a focus on products that are beyond our demarc. Like the last 100 foot problem. Perhaps a Powerline networking shootout or wifi repeater shootout. Or advanced spectrum analysis sweeps of homes or optimum router placement etc. It is a problem that is only going to get worse. Thanks for coming everyone. Tell us what you want to eat and see next year. From: Traci Haslam Sent: Friday, February 06, 2015 6:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Shout out to the mfg crew! You are welcome!
