Optimizing WLAN for Roaming Devices

This Solution Guide describes best practices for implementing massively scalable Aruba 802.11 wireless networks to support Wi-Fi phones, handheld scanning terminals, voice badges, and mobile computers. It addresses six areas of network planning to ensure a high quality of service for roaming data and voice sessions: device configuration, airtime optimization, roaming optimization, IP mobility configuration, IP multicast configuration, and interference resistance. The new “Wi-Fi Design for Apple Products” chapter was written by Apple for this guide to explain optimal design practices for Apple devices.
