One of my editors noted there are stories online about the large percentage of
upgrades to iOS 7 in a very short time; but he himself has NOT. He wondered
about why others may be refusing or delaying the upgrade.
I was curious about what, if anything, you folks are hearing about this, either
Regarding Julian's point...anyone know of folks actually doing work to evaluate
speed differences of older iOS devices that HAVE upgraded to iOS 7?

Their WLAN is the H3C gear that 3Com had licensed, now part of HP. New last

Researching, they found this comment (below) from another HP/H3C customer site,
which indicates one explanation for the problem at least with H3C

Another IT guy with a 3Com infrastructure also contacted me saying they were

Dear folks,
At Interop, it was striking to repeatedly hear about the surge in Wi-Fi clients

It finally struck me that Higher Ed must be ground zero for this?
Is this Wi-Fi client surge

My editor has me researching a story for Monday's print issue on 802.11n trends
in the market and the enterprise especially. A key part of the story is getting
some feedback from large-scale 11n sites.
I have a few details on Emory's recent 11n upgrade, based on our previous

But...I'd love to hear from anyone deploying 11n, who has some data and
experience to share!
This is for Network World's Monday print issue.

Thank you.
Soso far: upgrading the AP infrastructure to 11n; the WLAN is open to
anyone to connect; but no problems to date with 11n in the 2.4 GHz band for
these clients (channel assignments/access; or IP address allocation).
No authentication at all? I'm guessing the WLAN is
Stan,
What kind of 11n data rates and throughput are you seeing in the 2.4 band?
Also, I think iPhone 4 has only a single Wi-Fi antenna, so it doesn't benefit
(or benefit as much) as a 2x2 or 3x3 MIMO laptop. Have you done any i4
performance metrics?
I'm trying to get 11n implementation
Thanks, Chris.
Any idea what kind of WLAN throughput your iPhone 4 clients are getting?

A number of news stories, such as this one from Infoworld

note that Apple fixed a big but unacknowledged bug in the iPhone OS, but doing
so means that earlier iPhone models can no longer sync with Exchange 2007
As a reporter for Network World, I'm putting together this week a package of
stories in anticipation of the expected all-but-final ratification of the

Campuses have been leading the way both in large-scale WLAN adoption in general
and in 11n in particular (the
