Wireless Access

Hi all 

I am working for a company . Now we are studying to  replace existing wireless system . 

Cisco talking high about their clean air technology . they posted some videos in you tube 

What is the equivalent for  cisco clean air in aruba

What s your comments 

Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) is Aruba's radio management equivalent.   The latest version of ARM ARM also includes support for ClientMatch feature sets.

supportsbt,

- That video is from 2010

- Aruba has had noise-aware ARM from day 1 which will change channels when interference reaches a certain threshold, regardless

- Any wireless system can be jammed if interference occurs on all channels.  Cisco is not immune to this fact.

- There are many more things to consider when it comes to wireless, like performance and ClientMatch specifically addresses this.

Thanks 

Cisco agree that there is jamming . But the video is about self heeling . ( at 2.30) .

They showed the devices was self healed after ap change the channel  by itself 

Can you tell me  how aruba can acheive the same 

Thank you 

supportsbt,

The "channel-quality-aware-arm", "channel-quality-threshold" and "channel-quality-wait-time" parameters control changing channels when the quality of channel an access point is on gets bad for a specific amount of time.  The threshold at which it is considered bad, as well as how long to wait before changing channel is fully configurable.

I cannot.  You probably want to contact your sales team for those.

Microsoft is one of our largest and longest-tenured global customers, and they can go with whomever they want for wireless; they decided to go with Aruba, however.

Below  is how meru providing  fairness 

packetlevel fairness ,  timelevel fairness , uplink and downlink fairness .

How aruba address the same  .

Thank you 

supporsbt,

Are those knobs or marketing features?  I am not in sales, so I am not aware of most marketing terms, just technical ones.  What happens from a protocol perspective with these Meru features?  If you let us know, we can discuss the Aruba equivalent.  Even better, if you can reach your local Aruba sales team, I am sure they would be happy to provide any comparison that you want.

Hi 

I do understand , i am asking question supposed to ask sale team
Please bare with me . :) and accept my apologies

if AP is providing fairness based on timeslots. Suppose station A and station B
what if station B has nothing to send , Still the station B consume the same airtime

Basically i would like to understand how aruba achive airtime fairness

Thank you

supporsbt,

The explanation is here:  https://arubanetworkskb.secure.force.com/pkb/articles/HowTo/What-does-Airtime-fairness-do-and-how-to-configure-it-through-the-Aruba-Central-dashboard

It says Aruba central, but the technology is the same for controller-based access points.

I have a question regarding airtime fairness 

suppose station A transmitting data 1Mbps and station B
sending 300Mbps , In this case how aruba will act

Thanks

Please see detailed information about Aruba's airtime fairness feature here:  http://www.arubanetworks.com/wp-content/uploads/arubaarm1.pdf
