Understanding 802.11k
802.11k is a Wi-Fi standard that focuses on network optimization and improved roaming capabilities. It enhances the efficiency of Wi-Fi networks by providing crucial intelligence to both Wi-Fi clients and access points. With 802.11k, access points can identify neighboring networks, measure signal strength, and determine the best channel and band for optimal performance.
For hotel owners and managers, implementing 802.11k can significantly improve the Wi-Fi experience for guests. It enables faster and seamless roaming, allows for better load balancing across access points, and reduces client frustration caused by weak signals or slow connections.
Exploring 802.11r
802.11r, also known as Fast Basic Service Set Transition (FT), is another vital Wi-Fi standard that enhances the roaming process. It enables smooth and uninterrupted roaming experiences by reducing the amount of time it takes for a Wi-Fi client to connect to a new access point.
In the hospitality industry, 802.11r brings numerous benefits. It allows guests to move freely throughout the hotel premises without experiencing noticeable interruptions or drops in connectivity. This means that guests can stay connected during conference meetings, in-room streaming, or even while enjoying the hotel's amenities such as the pool or restaurants.
