WATERTOWN, Conn., April 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemon, a
leading global network infrastructure specialist, today announced a
new white paper 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.
