If you're involved in deploying wireless networking services, you need to keep
up with the state of the art. 802.11n is a 100 Mbps wireless protocol that's
the successor to 802.11g. This ebook tells you everything you need to know
about this important new protocol.
The next frontier for wireless LANs is 802.11ac, a standard that increases
throughput beyond one gigabit per second. This concise guide provides in-depth
information to help you plan for 802.11ac, with technical details on design,
network operations, deployment, and monitoring.
With transfer speeds up to 11 Mbps the 802.11 wireless network standard is set to revolutionize wireless LANs. Matthew Gast's definitive guide to the standard is aimed at administrators, architects and security professionals.
If you haven't worked with T1 before, you may face unexpected challenges. For those familiar with it, T1, the current standard for business Internet access, is known for being inefficient and not well-suited for data transmission. This practical reference serves as a guide for navigating the complexities of a 40-year-old technology originally designed for voice networks. Historically, network administrators have learned about T1 through trial and error, accumulating troubleshooting tips over time. This guide consolidates essential information for setting up, testing, and troubleshooting T1.
Key topics include the components necessary for building a T1 line and how they interact to transmit data effectively, the use of standardized link layer protocols to adapt the T1 physical layer for data networks, and strategies for troubleshooting issues while collaborating with telephone companies, equipment manufacturers, and Internet service providers. Despite its limitations, T1 remains a reliable technology that fulfills the needs for medium-speed, high-reliability Internet access across various institutions. This guide aims to eliminate the guesswork involved in utilizing T1 as a data transport solution.
