Tech Analysis


Description:
This paper is an analysis the performance of different client types as well as the impact of using multiple clients in an 802.11n WLAN infrastructure. Since enterprises are likely to deploy a variety of class 802.11n Draft 2.0 client types, this testing was intended to reveal performance differences and compatibility among clients.

Aruba Networks Tech Analysis Sample

The type of Wi-Fi Alliance 802.11n Draft 2.0 certified client used in a network should not affect network performance, and indeed that was the case for Aruba’s 802.11n infrastructure. In stark contrast, however, client type and client mix profoundly affected the throughput performance for other WLAN infrastructure vendors. The issue is not the clients, since they exhibited high throughput on the Aruba WLAN, but instead a design or implementation problem in the other WLAN infrastructure.
