We have done a few one to one replacements from Cisco to Xirrus and have
been very pleased. Xirrus conducts wireless surveys in all of our
locations to determine what placement will be optimal. So far It seems
the locations are not far off from our current AP's so we can use the
existing jacks.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Upgrade to N
We are currently looking at upgrading our current Cisco 1200 autonomous
APs, with WLSE management to a new wireless N network. The new vendor
has yet to be determined. I was looking to learn from others who have
made a similar migration how the move to N changed AP deployment? Was
it a simple one for one replacement where you were able to install the
new APs in the same location as the previous APs, eliminating the need
for additional cabling? Was a new wireless survey conducted, requiring
different AP locations? Please let me know what your experience has
been.
Thank you
