“By 2015, 80% of newly
installed wireless
networks will be obsolete
because of a lack of
proper planning.”
Top Wireless Issues That May Derail
Your Mobile Strategy.
Paul DeBeasi, October 2011
The average smart-phone will generate 2.6 GB of traffic per month in

Wired and wireless are not the same!
Dedicated
Shared
Wireless user capacity is reduced since the pipe is
shared by multiple users and by protocol overhead

Traditional Wireless Approach is Failing
Conventional APs + Central Controller
Limited Scalability
Adding more and more APs is not the answer
Fixed Configurations
1 x 2.4G and 1 x 5G radio per AP, no flexibility
Short Lifespan
No upgrade path with throwaway APs
Controller Bottleneck
Potential choke point and single point of failure
