Aruba uses Atheros radios, and they aren't software-limited, but rather
hardware-limited. That means that their (and everyone else's) radios will have
to be upgraded in order to support 3 spatial streams.
The third radio can be used in various ways, e.g. for a 3rd receiver in MRC to
make recep
That is my understanding as well. I believe if a vendor's AP has a third
antenna, it can provide some diversity in that the two best of the three can
be used at any given time for the two available spatial streams on receive. I
have no idea though, how much of a real benefit that translates to
The Aruba 120 series APs are 3x3 (3 TX x 3 RX radio chains), but they are
software-limited to 2 spatial streams. The number of radio chains is not always
proportional to the spatial stream capabilities.

While we didn't have the chance to do as in-depth in testing we also looked at
Meraki but ended up going with Aruba. The Aruba solution for us was cheaper,
offers more features (the vlan tunneling and bridging options), and ended up
being more secure with regards to packet captures.

For the 120 - you sure? On their documentation they show 3X3. We don't
have any 120's or 121's, just 60's 61's 105's, 124's and 125's, so I can't
say from a testing perspective.

Just to add clarification, both the AP-120 series and AP-105s only support two
(2) spatial streams, despite the additional antenna on the AP-120 series. FYI.

Ethan, sorry to not be of much help, but we've never had a problem with Band
Steering. We have a pretty dense deployment so maybe that's why. But one
thing you mentioned is you are using AP 105's. I can't remember 100% but I
did see a degradation in signal using the 105's on 5ghz vs 2.4ghz vs. A
We tried out Meraki, and wound up going with Aruba.
Meraki Pros:
* MUCH easier to use.
* Possibly better coverage?
* The Aruba 105 ceiling mount design is really annoying. With meraki you
can just hang them on the wall with screws.
* Their techs (once you convince them you actually have a proble
We are upgrading part of our network using Aruba AP-105s and a pair of
3600 controllers.
We've found an annoying problem when we have band steering turned on.
We've create two SSIDs. Lets call them BandSteering and NoBandSteering.
When users are relatively close to an access point, they can c

Good blog. The problem is that nobody can post. The capcha doesn't seem to be
working properly.
thanks!

Yup, we use Meraki for Stanford CS. I'm quite happy with the hosted (I gag a
little if I say 'cloud') controller and management interface, and even hap
Hi Marcelo,
My personal opinion is there is no better system than the Aruba Wireless.
With their adaptive radio management, you only need to plan for density and
then place X/users per AP, APs in that area. We just began using their
wireless mesh and are running wireless VOIP traffic across it thr
We're using Meraki at Westmont.
