Cabling for 802.11n Wireless LANs, Oberon

Presenters: 
Scott Thompson

Although it sounds counter-intuitive, wireless networks often require more cabling, not less. And, cabling for IEEE 802.11n (high speed) wireless LANs can be challenging. Gigabit Ethernet capability is required, and oftentimes, the cabling work is in the air handling (plenum) spaces where special considerations apply. Cabling for active Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) may require an additional layer of data cabling. This presentation will provide an overview of site surveys for wireless LANs, channel planning, access point location and installation, DAS overlay, Power over Ethernet, TIA standards for cabling for wireless, and National Electric Code considerations when cabling for wireless.
