Backdrop for 802.11n
• Duke Digital Initiative– Inspired new uses for technology in academics
• Strategic Plan: Making a Difference– $1.3B over 5-8 yrs (2nd yr)
• Teaching & Learning Center– Classes as performances– Primary access: wireless or wired?

Business Drivers
• Increase in wireless connectivity
• Decrease in wired use– Public wired ports
(library) completely unused
• Increased need for mobility

Pilot Environment
• Epworth Residence Hall– 16K S.F.– ~55 students, faculty-in-residence– Previously hotspot-only 802.11b/g
• Qty. 8 – AP1252 (2.4GHz + 5GHz)• Dedicated 4402 (code eval)• 3750G + 802.3at PoE injectors

Experiences
• 40%+ connecting with 802.11n– MacBook– Dell, Lenovo, others
• 129Mbps+ peak throughput (11n clients)• 802.11g client: 2x faster on 11n AP
compared to 11g AP– Especially pronounced at greater distances

Next Steps
• Campus-wide 802.11n rollout over next 6-9 months– 1:1 swap of existing 802.11a/b/g APs– Completing wireless deployment in reshalls
• All new laptops to have 802.11n radios• Prioritizing locations
– Teaching and learning spaces– Greenfield opportunities (“New Campus”)
• Risk mitigation– 802.11n standard– PoE, GbE connectivity

Financial Considerations
• Evaluation of funding approach for wired and wireless networks– Wireless installed with one-time
funds– Wired network: ongoing refresh
budget• 802.11n upgrade: advancing
planned 4 year refresh cycle• Observation: wired network
size decreases, yet cost per port will increase (GbE, 10GbE)
