Some tests we found worthwhile:
-Check to see if multicast works like you expect.
-Related to multicast and in general, check to see if fragmentation
also leads to reordering of fragments and if your applications can
live with this.
-Test client throughput in various scenarios (Single client,

Factors that we have considered in our wireless vendor analysis and
that are beyond
the controller but can make a big difference in implementation and
cost are:
-Form factor of the AP (size of AP, brackets, cost of antennas..)
-Power requirements for full 3X3 802.11n capacity (eg: can

To clarify #3 The issue with a PC is that when you are in between the
coverage of a AP, a PC will register its MAC address with the AP. When a end

Ken,
As far as my experience with researching and evaluating wireless products
(market share aside), you are considering the top two vendors. I am not
going to vent on this forum so, please email me directly. r...@tamu.edu. I
will get our engineers together to help you through your evaluations.
