Understanding Basic Wi-Fi Antenna Concepts

The dos and don'ts of antenna selection and placement.
After all the effort invested in selecting a WLAN vendor and planning an Enterprise wireless LAN, many underestimate the importance of antenna selection and careful placement, and end up settling for lower performance than they were expecting.  It will come as no surprise that antenna placement at the home also impacts your remote workers! 
In this episode, we'll give you a straightforward and not overly technical overview of antenna design, to provide guidance on choosing the right antenna and maximizing coverage and capacity, and to identify common antenna deployment mistakes to be avoided. 
Topics we'll cover:
Antennas 101
Remote worker support
Selecting Antenna Types
External Antenna Considerations
Antenna Placement Best Practices
Coverage vs Capacity
Site Surveys and RF Planning
Continuous Performance Monitoring

How a Single Frame Gets Transmitted on the RF Medium

Since Wi-Fi is invisible, many think of it as Ethernet without the wires. In reality, there is a LOT of complexity in order for a single frame to be transmitted over the Radio Frequency medium. In this episode with special guest Keith Parsons, we'll discuss the various amounts of overhead and why this is useful in Wireless LAN communications.
Topics include:
- Single data frame exchange.
- The limitations of 802.11.
- The Wireless to Wired boundary.
- Real use cases.
