As districts upgrade or expand their wireless networking infrastructure to support 1-to-1, online assessments and other digital learning initiatives, many are future-proofing their investment by moving to 802.11ac technology, the latest WiFi specification. Erik Heinrich, the former director of IT for San Francisco Unified School District, oversaw that district’s 802.11ac implementation. According to Heinrich, 802.11n devices may experience a performance boost when connected to 802.11ac infrastructure because the “newer access points that support the 802.11ac standard are built with newer engineering, and the faster processors improve the performance for older clients because it’s processing the data more quickly,” he said. “So even for the older 802.11n devices, they’re seeing better range and performance, even if they’re not leveraging 802.11ac protocol. It’s just better hardware inside the access point.”
