I just came back from Aruba Networks' AirHeads conference, and they are recommending to customers to do the exact opposite: run your data on 802.11a and voice on 802.11g. This way, you get 54mb speed for your data, and by using only 802.11g phones for voice, you'll get the full 54mb all the time.

I have been a little embarrassed to express our wireless deployment strategies because I took an approach many will disagree with. We had very limited budget and have even less personal. We started about three years ago and initially were able to buy a limited amount of access points. I deployed
