Do people deploying the 1252s find that 802.11a and 802.11g clients are getting better range and/or throughput?
I understand that MIMO and MRC will improve the AP's receive sensitivity, making clients more visible, but I was curious whether this would apply to the downstream as well as the upstream. Cisco is targeting Transmit Beam Forming (an 802.11n optional feature) for Legacy Clients in a future release of code. --Bruce -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Sessler Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 2:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 11n users Five 4404 with 230 1252s deployed (all have 2.4 & 5 radios) with the goal of reaching 350+ in January. Running Cisco's 5.1 code base. 5GHz running with 40Mhz wide channels. We went live September 1st with the bulk of the 1252s deployed in our residential halls. So far, I'd say that the deployment has been rather uneventful. All are in the same mobility group, and our peak concurrent user count is in the 800-830 range. We had some initial pains with Macs that employ broadcom-based airport cards where they would fall on their face if the AP was using channels between 52-140. We've simply disabled those channels while Apple and Cisco figure out what's up. best, jeff >>> Lee H Badman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/11/2008 9:49 AM >>> Wondering if anyone has jumped in to Cisco 11n yet on any sort of scale that they wouldn't mind sharing? Especially where 11n APs and a/g APs are hosted on the same controllers or in the same mobility groups... looking for general feedback. Thanks- Lee Lee H.
