Yep. Very few people (less than 5%) who deploy dense wireless LANs
understand that the interference radius around each access point omni
antenna is 4 times to 8 times (or more) GREATER than the usable
communications radius. People end up putting too many access points too
close together result
I strongly suspect that Alvarion would not "blow this test out of the water"
because they, like Cisco and Aruba, do nothing (so far as I know) to
coordinate transmissions to mitigate self-interference. Meru does, and this
is why it comes out so far ahead.

Everyone on this list probably already knows this, especially if you have
read Jack's book, but John Cox from Network World did a good job explaining
it. Usage vs. self interference
