MERU 802.11N wireless versus the rest!

Novarum (independent research group) reported 3 key differences between MERU’s 802.11N product and that of Cisco and Aruba.  The first significant difference was 40mbps more of throughput over MERU’s competitors.  Performance was usually above 170mbps beating the other guys’ by 40mbps.  The next thing they found was in the category of “Air Time Fairness” where MERU’s solution provided “fair and equitable access” to the 802.11N clients being served by the WLAN.  Airtime fairness is important because it’s how the signal is shared by different clients, both old school (b/g/a) and the new (N), and gives a sense of network stability in the eyes of the client (user).  The final standout in Novarum’s WLAN testing is in the category of “Toll Grade Voice”.  Neither Cisco or Aruba can match MERU’s performance in supporting voice applications at a toll grade voice level.  MERU’s product registers above a MOS score of 4.0 with high density, bi-directional voice and data traffic.  Interface Technologies’ AVAYA VOIP users and dual mode cell phone users require a WLAN system like MERU’s to provide toll quality voice performance.
