Introducing M-Drive with ClientLinkBeam Forming enhances mixed mode client performance
Challenge
Solution
11ag clients consume valuable ―airtime‖, limiting performance in mixed mode client environments
Client refresh cycles over 3-5 years
MIMO inherently only improves uplink performance
Beam forming focuses signal exclusively to each standards based 11ag client
–Up to 65% higher throughput for 802.11a/g clients
–27% higher overall system capacity
–Reduces coverage holes in challenging RF environments

P. P will be selected for the following conditions:
P.P parent is the best parent
P.P link SNR is at least 20dB (In this case, other parents, however good, are ignored)
P.P has link SNR between 12 and 20 dB, but no other parent is significantly better (SNR more than 20% better). For lower than 12dB SNR, P.P configuration is ignored
P.P is in the same Bridge Group Name (BGN). If no other parent available in the same BGN, the child will join the P.P using the default BGN

2.4 GHz as Mesh Backhaul 2.4 GHz has a better penetration through dense foliage
2.4 GHz backhaul should be carefully implemented as a last resort after completely exploring 5 GHz backhaul
Backhaul change only applies to the RAP & whole Mesh sector follows the change
2.4 GHz backhaul configuration is only applicable to AP1522 (two radio) mesh platform
2.4 GHz backhaul configuration only possible through CLI
Warning messages attached to the CLI commands, asking the user for verification, as these commands bring the mesh down for renegotiations

Locally Signed Certificate (LSC) for Mesh
LSC was introduced for Mesh APs with 7.0 code
Global WLC command to enable LSC for Mesh. Mesh APs reboot
LSC provisioning is supported over the Air & Ethernet for RAP/MAP
From 7.0 MR1, Graceful Fallback to Manufactured Installed Certificate (MIC) if LSC fails or vice versa after Lonely timer Reboot
RAPs use LSC for DTLS set up– same as non mesh APs
MAPs use dot1x authentication with WLC or external AAA server using LSC through the parent AP
For MIC, MAPs use statically configured dot1x profile to authenticate. This profile is hardcoded to use ―cisco‖ as cert. issuer

Key Differentiator:Integrated Spectrum Analyzer
• Enables rapid identification of available spectrum, speeding deployment time
• Spectrum analysis becomes the default first step in a troubleshooting process
• Can be used independently of far-end to scan surroundings for potential interferers
• Compare to stand-alone spectrum analyzers at $4K to $15K
