Q & A

Q: I have 802.11 a, b/g. How can I upgrade to 802.11n?

A: With Horizon Layered WLAN, traffic can be managed by application or by protocol. When managed by protocol 802.11n can be added as a layer while maintaining 802.11 a, b/g. This way new clients can take fully take advantage of 802.11n speeds without worrying about existing client performance.

InnerWireless Horizon

With Horizon, customers can make sure that their WLAN capacity meets their current user requirements while supporting emerging WWAN protocols for voice and data technology.

Carrier Flexibility

Horizon uses simple carrier connectivity architectures that have been approved by all major carriers. Modular carrier-grade RF and fiber optic connectivity modules cover all WWAN frequencies and are seamlessly scalable to meet both frequency and capacity needs. A single Horizon system can provide support for up to eight carriers.

Layered WLAN

Horizon offers an innovative, next generation Wi-Fi topology that is tailored to mission- and life-critical applications. Termed Layered WLAN multiple simultaneous channels of 802.11b/g/n and multiple simultaneous channels of 802.11a/n are made available throughout every area of Wi-Fi coverage. Unlike a traditional Wi-Fi deployment with one channel of 802.11b/g/n and one channel of 802.11a/n in an area, there are three channels of 802.11b/g/n and three channels of 802.11a/n. Multiple channels, or layers, means that customers can manage traffic in a new and novel way – optimizing the quality of service (QoS) of numerous computing, VoWLAN, and location devices by assigning different applications and even different protocols to different channels. In this way, the devices don’t compete for a single shared wireless resource.

Horizon layered WLAN provides the following advantages:

  • Uniform channel planning
  • Guaranteed signal-level coverage
  • Traffic management to handle increased number of clients and user clustering
  • Simplified operations via physically collocated and secured access points

When independently tested against a traditional 802.11 deployment, layered Wi-Fi increased network performance, 2-3x, while simplifying the management of 802.11 b/g, a, and n. Read more about these results in a recent third-party study by Novarum.
