In 2013, the global shipment of smart terminals reached up

to 2.4 billion. The number will increase to 2.9 billion in 2017,
including 1.5 billion smart phones and 460 million tablets.

As wireless applications flourish and new service types continuously

emerge, the wireless services are being characterized by mobility,
high bandwidth, and real-time transmission.

Increasing popularity of smart terminals gives rise to surging demands for new wireless
services.

Wi-Fi carries most services today.

Only a few application scenarios, limited

types of access terminals and applications,
low requirements on user experience

In the past, Wi-Fi was a

supplement to the wired
network.

Wide application scenarios, various types

of access terminals and applications, high
requirements on user experience and
security

High-density Wi-Fi deployment should focus on access experience and security.

using the
network

Too many access users

Large traffic bursts
Low user experience

Dense deployment of a large

number of APs
Severe radio signal interference

Wireless signals exposed in the

air and vulnerable to
surrounding interference
User information leak risks

Internet experience is low when many users connect to the network. An open environment
brings potential security risks.

Challenge 1: Multi-User Access Performance

In high-density venues, such as
airport stations, conference centers,
or stadiums, a large number of users
are densely distributed. The service
concurrency rate is high. Because the
APs have performance bottlenecks,
the Wi-Fi access speed is slow and
new users cannot register on the
network.

The APs provide access to a limited number of users due to performance bottlenecks. As a
result, many users fail to access the network in high-density venues.

Challenge 2: Wireless Frequency Interference

Many APs need to be deployed in
high-density venues. Because
Channel 6
Channel 1

there are limited wireless

spectrum resources, interference
between APs cannot be avoided.
Channel congestion occurs, and

Channel 6

users frequently drop out and

cannot associate with the APs.

Dense deployment of APs and limited spectrum resources result in severe radio interference.
Users frequently drop out.
