Re: [AFMUG] AC spec available in 2.4?
To an extent. More range, more speed, beamforming. But are you really gaining anything in the smaller channel sizes with AC in 2.4Ghz? I don't know the standard really well aside from it's obvious gains. The main things, AFAIK, that are beneficial from AC are the increased speeds and beamforming. I understand where beamforming is important. And better range. It would be interesting to know what can be gained from 802.11ac in 2.4Ghz but the main argument I have heard against it is that there isn't enough spectrum.

Re: [AFMUG] AC spec available in 2.4?
Chips that are 2 stage without integrated RFIC I think you will see will work just fine with no cost hit at all. You’re right though, most high volume chips are highly integrated chips with PA and RFIC, and clearly not focused on moving into this space (read: chips for mobile phones and low cost home router Wi-Fi chips). One of the reasons we love Quantenna…clean division of baseband chip and external customizable RFIC/PA, etc. Cheers, Jaime Fink • Mimosahttp://www.mimosa.co/ • CPO Co-Founder This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).

Beam forming was an optional part of 802.11n. There are two types of beamforming, antenna based and chip/tx based. 802.11AC is significantly more efficient than 802.11N when it comes to protocol overhead, however the majority of the speed gain is from higher order modulations coupled with larger channel sizes. BTW, 160MHz wide channels are on the horizon for 802.11AC rev3. MU-MIMO is nice. I would not expect to ever see a 2.4GHz AC chipset on the mass market at reasonable pricing, even for ISPs.

Re: [AFMUG] AC spec available in 2.4?
Generally, many chips actually work no problem and should be able to run 256 QAM down into 2.4 Ghz, but the dependency is having RFICs out there that support it, clients that are expecting it in the beacons since it’s not in the standard, and clearly 80 MHz modes are not an option. Obviously off the shelf true Wi-Fi clients (smartphones, tablets, etc.) likely aren’t going to be compatible or negotiate those rates since it’s not in the standard that they’re expecting those rates as advertised in that band. So it won’t be true Wi-Fi since there’s no interoperability or requirements to support the actual 11ac standard in 2.4 GHz, but there’s nothing stopping it from working in a fixed vendor implementation so long as both AP and client can support it and the RF is there to do it on both sides.

Looking at the big guys and how their speeds are all over the map during peak times, but you seem to get a decent chunk of the pie during peak times is interesting as a business model. What if you sell up to 30 mbps with a CIR of 2 mbps, leave all the SM's at unlimited throttling. That way if a customer is one of the only users on the AP sucking down bandwidth, they would see the 30 mbps. Makes them happy to see very fast speeds during non peak times. Obviously, during peak times, 7pm to 12 am, they would be guaranteed their 2 mbps. Kind of like what Verizon and ATT do in bigger cities. - Has anyone done something like this? Does it work well? - How well does the AP handle load balancing as subscribers use the available wireless bandwidith? We would like to stack AP's to lower the overall SM count on each AP to keep the CIR within available bandwidth. Say, put max 40 users on each AP at 2 mbps CIR. - If one of the stacked AP's fails and the SM's jump to the other one, what happens if the CIR is greater than the sum of the AP? -- -- Sam Lambie Taosnet Wireless Tech. 575-758-7598 Office www.Taosnet.comhttp://www.newmex.com

Re: [AFMUG] AC spec available in 2.4?
I think that’s a fair assessment of the technology from last year….most AC implementations never thought they’d achieve MCS 9 regularly with a generation ago RFIC technologies and required RX sensitivities. Now that RFIC implementations have evolved to try to actually improve this, we’re seeing it is far more attainable to hit MCS 8/9 quite regularly, especially in narrower channels. But MU-MIMO and beamforming alone are big improvements even if you can’t get past MCS 7. Beamforming delivers 3 dB extra “processed” gain on it’s own.

Re: [AFMUG] AC spec available in 2.4?
Beam forming was an optional part of 802.11n. There are two types of beamforming, antenna based and chip/tx based. 802.11AC is significantly more efficient than 802.11N when it comes to protocol overhead, however the majority of the speed gain is from higher order modulations coupled with larger channel sizes. BTW, 160MHz wide channels are on the horizon for 802.11AC rev3. MU-MIMO is nice. I would not expect to ever see a 2.4GHz "AC" chipset on the mass market at "reasonable pricing", even for ISPs. Too little to gain, on various fronts.

There is an increase from 2 things over N, the first is processor throughput as none of the inexpensive N radios could even use all the bandwidth N allowed with 64QAM.

The big gain would be MU-MIMO, beamforming to create the nulls for multi-user and isolate interference, and of course 256-QAM, but limited to the same smaller channel sizes required for the 2.4 GHz spectrum. Question is, with the noise in the spectrum, could you achieve SNR to really get 256-QAM regularly (probably limited), but certainly MU-MIMO and beamforming would be a big add for the band.

More range, more speed, beamforming. But are you really gaining anything in the smaller channel sizes with AC in 2.4Ghz? I don't know the standard really well aside from it's obvious gains. The main things, AFAIK, that are beneficial from AC are the increased speeds and beamforming. I understand where beamforming is important. And better range. It would be interesting to know what can be gained from 802.11ac in 2.4Ghz but the main argument I have heard against it is that there isn't enough spectrum.

Re: [AFMUG] AC spec available in 2.4?
Me neither. I've read where a few folks have had great success with 3x3 @ 5GHz on the Mikrotik forum and more often then not actually losing speed. Seems though, beamforming and 3x3, or likely 4x4, would make for an AP with awesome signal reconstruction. It would take some work, obviously, but 10-15 ft separation with two dual polarity sectors... It might work better in a 2tx4r config, but it is all just geek thoughts at this point. Odd. I hit reply just like I always have on AFMUG and it sent it to Josh's email rather than af@afmug.com.

You can buy galvanzied unistrut. If I was a tower owner and seen someone put that Unistrut crap on my tower I would kick them off. That stuff is only ZINC plated and will eventually rust.

[AFMUG] 450 AP and CIR.
We are looking at other ways to sell bandwidth. Looking at the big guys and how their speeds are all over the map during peak times, but you seem to get a decent chunk of the pie during peak times is interesting as a business model. What if you sell up to 30 mbps with a CIR of 2 mbps, leave all the SM's at unlimited throttling. That way if a customer is one of the only users on the AP sucking down bandwidth, they would see the 30 mbps. Makes them happy to see very fast speeds during non peak times. Obviously, during peak times, 7pm to 12 am, they would be guaranteed their 2 mbps. Kind of like what Verizon and ATT do in bigger cities. - Has anyone done something like this? Does it work well? - How well does the AP handle load balancing as subscribers use the available wireless bandwidith? We would like to stack AP's to lower the overall SM count on each AP to keep the CIR within available bandwidth. Say, put max 40 users on each AP at 2 mbps CIR. - If one of the stacked AP's fails and the SM's jump to the other one, what happens if the CIR is greater than the sum of the AP? -- -- *Sam Lambie* Taosnet Wireless Tech. 575-758-7598 Office www.Taosnet.com http://www.newmex.com

If you do rings and a link goes down, more traffic starts going the other direction, or reverses completely.

A link goes down, traffic changes and I do not want to take down yet another link to fix perhaps a temporary issue.

They are heavy. Good concentrator for a beamforming array. But there are other methods that lighter and just as good. The actual antennas are mounted to the back side of the ball. The ball just serves as kind of a dish focusing signals from different directions to the appropriate feed antennas.
