Sascha: In a recent briefing with Meru they claimed that the Wi-Fi Alliance requested that their equipment be re-tested to verify the claims of interference. Meru said that the Wi-Fi Alliance gave their equipment a clean bill of health, so it's possible that concerns of their product causing inte

Mike: I'm in general agreement, but any wireless-based rogue suppression is going to generate additional wireless traffic, and in doing so, make it slightly more difficult for other clients, AP's, or wireless phones to communicate. But you're right, it's not like some jammers that just blast the w

thanks for the info! we've just begun replacing some of the radios in our Aironet 1200 APs with dot11g radios and I hadn't considered OFDM might not work quite the same as CCK with the 4 channel overlap. - Gabriel Kuri | Operating Systems & Network Analyst Instructional and Information Techn

The other caveat here is that the Cirond testing was performed with older Prism II chip sets from Intersil (now Conexant). My understanding is that there were some unique properties of those chip sets that made them more conducive to the 4-channel model and that this model is not as applicable to m

caveat! Univ. of TN tested and implemented the 4 channels (1, 4, 7, 11) in 2000 and was very pleased with it until we upgraded to 802.11g (3 months ago) OFDM seems to be more sensitive to the channel overlap. Philippe Hanset On Tue, 22 Mar 2005, Gabriel Kuri wrote: > you may want to check out t

you may want to check out this paper from Cirond. it discusses from an RF perspective, the use of 4 channels, given the overlap is very small with a negligible amount of interference. http://www.cirond.com/pdf/FourPoint.pdf - Gabriel Kuri | Operating Systems & Network Analyst Instructional
