Bruce, Aruba likes to claim in marketing that their technologies are equivalent, only it doesn’t always hold up under testing e.g. CleanAir vs. RF Protect/spectrum analysis. In 2008, Aruba’s band/load steering used several tricks to move clients, and clients of the say absolutely resisted. B

We have both Cisco and Aruba here in our consortium, and neither is perfect, although I’ve witnessed more impactful (show stopper) bugs on the Aruba. When you are the market leader by 3:1, it makes sense that you’re going to see more posts about code quality. You’ll also have more people willin

DBS & CleanAir sounds like Aruba's AppRF, which is a newer version of their band-steering & ARM (Adaptive Radio Management). In 2008 when Aruba had this technology, Cisco was telling us that it was impossible to steer clients toward 5GHz because the client makes the decision. Aruba depends on
