Siemon India Announces new whitepaper on Next Wave of Wi-Fi
To support high-efficiency Wi-Fi access point (WAP) connections with network cabling infrastructures
Mumbai, May 13th, 2019: - Siemon
India, an arm of The Siemon Company, a US headquartered leading global network
infrastructure specialist, today announced a new whitepaper that covers
key design and media selection strategies for designers, consultants, end users
and installers to ensure that network cabling infrastructures are prepared to
support high-efficiency Wi-Fi access point (WAP) connections.
Authored by Valerie Maguire, BSEE, Global Sales
Engineer for Siemon, the new white paper entitled, “Preparing for Wi-Fi 6:
Cabling Considerations for High Efficiency Wireless Access Point Connections,”
explains the technology behind the latest IEEE 802.11ax High-Efficiency
Wireless (HEW) standard known as Wi-Fi 6 and what users can expect in terms of
wireless speeds with this new technology. The new white paper outlines the key
cabling design strategies that will ensure structured cabling uplinks will be
ready to support Wi-Fi 6, including support for current and future transmission
speed and remote powering requirements.
“To take full advantage of Wi-Fi 6 technology, it
is recommended to deploy two class EA/category 6A shielded or higher
performing drops to each WAP or router and a minimum 25-Gig capable backbone to
support Wi-Fi 6 uplink capacity,” says Maguire. “In addition, Wi-Fi 6 WAPs will
need more power and require 30-watt Type 2 PoE, which calls for more thermally
stable cabling systems and solid conductor cords. Here at Siemon, we continue
to focus on developing innovative solutions that ensure maximum performance and
reliability while minimizing heat rise to optimally support WAPs and other PoE-powered
devices.”
In the new white paper, Maguire also covers the
use of a grid-based zone cabling architecture, field terminated plugs and other
key cabling design strategies to ensure support for Wi-Fi 6. To download the new white paper, “Preparing
