    Hi

    What are the equivalent functionality of cisco clean air in aruba. What action can take by aruba controller if there is co-channel interference

    Thank you

    Aruba has Adaptive Radio Management (ARM).



    "Aruba's Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology maximizes WLAN
    performance even in the highest traffic networks by dynamically and
    intelligently choosing the best 802.11 channel and transmit power for each
    Aruba AP in its current RF environment.

    Aruba's ARM technology solves wireless networking challenges such as large
    deployments, dense deployments, and installations that must support VoIP or
    mobile users. Deployments with dozens of users per access point can cause
    network contention and interference, but ARM dynamically monitors and
    adjusts the network to ensure that all users are allowed ready access. ARM
    provides the best voice call quality with voice-aware spectrum scanning and
    call admission control.

    With earlier technologies, network administrators would have to perform a
    site survey at each location to discover areas of RF coverage and
    interference, and then manually configure each AP according to the results
    of this survey. Static site surveys can help you choose channel and power
    assignments for APs, but these surveys are often time-consuming and
    expensive, and only reflect the state of the network at a single point in
    time. ARM is more efficient than static calibration, and, unlike older
    technologies, it continually monitors and adjusts radio resources to provide
    optimal network performance. Automatic power control can adjust AP power
    settings if adjacent APs are added, removed, or moved to a new location
    within the network, minimizing interference with other WLAN networks. ARM
    adjusts only the affected APs, so the entire network does not require
    systemic changes."

    You want me to let you on a secret?  Nobody can do anything about interference besides change channel.  Aruba has been doing that for many years: Here is a manual from 2007:
