It is felt that Aruba Networks is the first WLAN company that actually is helping to define a "gold standard" for a life critical mission grade wireless network for medical devices. This has moved the OneNet approach from Draeger of which was the first step in the right direction years ago to a new level. It also right in concert with what Dr. Baker and I put forth in our white paper published by IEEE in March/April of this year. (It is on Aruba Networks web site). Go to www.arubanetworks.com for the detail, however these are the highlights.
- Band steering- actively guides 802.11a/n clients and even specific applications or users, to the best available wireless channel. The result is better noise immunity, fewer sources of interference, and more available channels.
- Spectrum load balancing of which allows the APS and Mobility Controllers to dynamically shift WIFI clients to access points on channels with with available bandwidth.
- Coordinated Access
- Co-Channel Interference Mitigation
- AirTime Fairness
- Performance Protection
