Linux_Box,

How does Voice-aware scanning operate under Aruba? Cisco says their Auto-RF will not change channels on APs with voice clients if they have sent/rec data to/fr the Platinum (voice) queue during the last 100ms.

Does Aruba's scanning apply to more than just voice traffic? I know they advertise as much for medical devices (Welch-Allyn) so patient telemetry data can flow uninterrupted.

We had way too many issues with Cisco Auto-RF with our medical apps. The controller-driven client deauths to perform DCA (Dynamic Channel Assignment) created too much roaming delay even for clinial data apps. You would think there would be better tolerance for clients - I know this kind of client-side sensitivity is part of the
802.11TGv standard.

Thanks,

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
