[Johnson, Bruce T]

His Joseph, Regarding your Xirrus deployment, has that resulted in a better than 1:1 replacement ratio? Regards, Bruce T.

Xirrus conducts wireless surveys in all of our locations to determine what placement will be optimal. So far It seems the locations are not far off from our current AP’s so we can use the existing jacks.                            Joseph Clark Senior Network Engineer   From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:wireless-...@listserv.educause.edu] On Behalf Of Entwistle, Bruce Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2009 3:04 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Upgrade to N   We are currently looking at upgrading our current Cisco 1200 autonomous APs, with WLSE management to a new wireless N network.  The new vendor has yet to be determined.  I was looking to learn from others who have made a similar migration how the move to N changed AP deployment?  Was it a simple one for one replacement where you were able to install the new APs in the same location as the previous APs, eliminating the need for additional cabling?  Was a new wireless survey conducted, requiring different AP locations?  Please let me know what your experience has been.   Thank you Bruce Entwistle Network Manager University of Redlands   ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
