The document discusses five steps to building a faster, smarter wireless LAN network. It begins by covering the first step of providing faster Wi-Fi by upgrading to the 802.11ac wireless standard. It describes how 802.11ac provides wider channels, more spatial streams, and higher order modulation to increase bandwidth and throughput. It also discusses some examples of 802.11ac throughputs achieved in testing. The document then moves to the second step of planning the network architecture and considerations for deploying a controller-based or controllerless system.
