Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Aironet and Catalyst Access Points
We use Cisco Wireless Access Points to augment our wired infrastructure. We do not have a sole wireless environment but we do rely heavily on wireless for mobile device roaming and conference room support. Our wireless implementation also supports all of our IOT devices such as smart boards and meeting room displays.
- Roaming.
- Mesh environments.
- Orphan app support.
- Spectrum management.
- Spread spectrum support.
- Rogue app detection.
- Low downtime.
- Centralized management.
- Lower level engineering support required.
- Aruba Networks Wireless LAN (WLAN)
We compared Cisco Acess Point to Aruba and while we found benefits in both, the biggest advantage for us was the fact that we were already an existing Cisco shop and the learning curve to implement Aruba access points over Cisco would have been too costly and time-consuming.
