White Paper Abstract:
We believe that the use of Spectrum Assurance (SA; Cisco calls this Spectrum Intelligence) tools, such as those now included in Cisco’s Wireless Control System (WCS), is the best approach to addressing the challenge of interference, especially in the near term. Over time, as SA capabilities are further integrated into enterprise-class wireless-LAN products themselves, we expect a significant degree of automation will be applied to solving interference problems, eventually rendering the challenge essentially transparent for network managers and operations staff – not to mention users. In the interim, however, these constituencies need to be aware of the potential challenge interference represents to VidFi and to avail themselves of the tools now available.
