I strongly suspect that Alvarion would not "blow this test out of the water" because they, like Cisco and Aruba, do nothing (so far as I know) to coordinate transmissions to mitigate self-interference. Meru does, and this is why it comes out so far ahead.
According to Belanger, at some points in these highly loaded networks, 30 > per cent to 40 per cent of the packets in the air were transmissions by the > Aruba and Cisco access points. Meru had far fewer retransmissions. > I expect that Alvarion would experience a level of retransmission similar to that of Cisco and Aruba. Finally, each of the three WLAN vendors gives voice packets higher priority, so no win for Alvarion there, either. I don't know anything about Extricom and would like to know if anyone has had any experience with them.
