Many moons ago when we used Cisco IOS APs for our new WLAN, we would
create picocells (knowing that the term means different things to
different people) by turning down the power to 1 mW, and also adding an
attenuator between AP and antenna to further restrict output power. Then
we'd basically
Philippe,
Thank you for the information, it is going to make my research a lot easier.
As well to all who has given me some great insight on some of the
challenges. We will eventually get wireless in all the dorms. We actually
are going to do 2 large dorms this summer with Aruba AP 65's
(around
We are using Cisco 7920 and 7921 phones on CCM v4 (shortly will be v6)
on the Cisco LWAPP. We have no issues with the wireless voice; however,
we currently only have a handful of the wireless phones deployed
(primarily due to cost of the phones). We also allow RRM to adjust
signal strength now
Frank,
We are testing a dense Aruba deployment in our Info-Commons
(a huge aisle of our main library is now an IT congregation area.
Students love it)
Seven access points are hosting about 140 users (peak usage from 11 AM
till 5 PM). Those APs (Aruba 125) have b/g on one radio and a/n on
the
Thanks for that input. Can you comment on the peak level of sustained
throughput, per room; per AP? Are these measured over 5 minute intervals,
or some other kind of measurement? I suspect that casual use may in fact
work fine in dense environments.

Nope- and that's my point. There is very little sustained anything in
our environment yet- every 15 minutes of every day on every AP is
arguably different given the ebbs and flows of our current user base and
their network behaviors. We have done silly tests like have half-dozen
folks all on the

Engineering initiated a tablet PC requirement for all incoming freshman.
The thought was that the tablets would be a great classroom resource for
the students, replacing pad and paper. This led to them experimenting
