802.11n Nanostation

[vincefer]

We have the 2Ghz and 5Ghz Nanostations. Why not a 802.11n version? ;-)

You already have the interfaces ready.

I guess it is not that easy.

They're probably hoping for N to be ratified, or at least farther along in the process. At least that'd be my guess.

[vincefer]

It is possible. But they already have some hardware for 802.11n.

May be support for 802.11n on AirOS? I don't know.

what kind of N standard would you like to be supported ?

[bgoksel]

I think;
The main thing for the 802.11n is licence fees.
Most of the vendors still waiting for the acceptable fees for the wimax insert.
Otherwise everthing is ready for the .11n support.
Hardware is ready,nothing change for the software..What would be the rest?

This is my opinion,did not discuss this with any vendor...

i adhere initially, BUT....
the SOC of the nanostation is inadequate to take advantage of 11n, it would require at least twice the raw clockspeed to take a little advantage, @300mbps theoretical, it's no problem to have 70/80Mbps TCP throughtput.
So, that either means a much more expensive nanostation(3 antennaes, plus different/bigger SoC) -that i doubt would fit the current package- or a bigger platform -a powerstation-, which i see more likely to receive a 11n upgrade.

all things considerd, if they ever make a nanostation 11n(even if it doesn't makes efficient use of the available BW of the radio) i'f be very interested, for the MIMO/NLOS part alone

How much of channel band use N to achieve 300mbps ? 40mhz ? if it does - N standard could kill everything in 2,4GHZ and 5GHZ.

AFAIK true - a good place to look at are these spectrum analyzer recordings http://www.metageek.net/docs-device-signatures/wi-fi They should give you a nice picture about what is bound to happen....

Hey Guys,

To achieve 300Mbps data rates, it would be in 40Mhz mode. N Can also operate in 20Mhz.

Thanks,

Mike

I guess using N on 2.4 at 40MHZ channel size is useless. 20MHZ channel with performance over 150mbps could be good enough.

Hi all,
Greetings of the day..
I am eager to setup a wireless network. I need to connect three locations which is situated around 11 km in radius. What are the hardware needed to setup a network using wireless technology. I need to use internet and file transfer activities in which on termilnal is connected to external ISP, others wont.
With thanks,
raja

Yup...it is bad as a microwave oven when seen on my Metageek.
