per cisco's documentation the 1140 should only be ceiling mounted. This is because of the antenna design. The 1252 isn't long for this world. Mike On 2/16/09, Rob Crockett crocke...@obu.edu wrote: I'm interested in knowing experiences others have had in deploying the new Cisco Aironet 1140s.

FYI - this still appears to be an LWAPP recovery/upgrade image...how can they get away with not having IOS? What about Hybrid Mode support? Bruce T. Johnson | Network Engineer | Partners Healthcare Network Engineering | 617.726.9662 | Pager: 31633 | bjohns...@partners.org | 149 13th Street,

Density and Cisco LWAPP

We are currently looking to go totally wireless in two of our classrooms on campus. The rooms are back to back and we anticipate 90 users in each classroom, simultaneously. We are a totally Cisco shop and will not be using N for this deployment. The initial design plan calls for 5 APs in each

We have a dense deployment of APs here. Typically we try to keep the number of users per AP to around a 1:9 ratio. What we found is that if you do not tweak the beacon period then the G spectrum ends up with around 20% of the available bandwidth being consumed by management traffic in a

Thank you. I hadn't considered the beacon interval in too much detail. I will make sure I add this into the calculations. We also block multicast at this time as well. Chip From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:wireless-...@listserv.educause.edu] On Behalf

Hi Chip, I'm curious why you would not be using 802.11n on a new deployment? Are you planning to purchase the APs new? I imagine a great pre-owned market for abg only APs. I can think of one site that would love to be able to sell their 1132s to migrate to the new 1142s (assuming appropriate

For dense deployments, where you're not trying to leverage the potential rang-oriented benefits of MIMO, you could probably safely survey with a non-11n AP in both bands. All you'll really lose is data rate quantification, but my early 11n testing shows that data rates are all over the place any

Thanks Rick. Unfortunately in the building were this is being completed, the student requirements are for a G radio. Not all of our students have A radios, but this is a point we will consider for the new standard in the fall. Thanks for the suggestions. Chip -Original Message-
