 The Cisco Aironet 3800 Series APs support mGig, which allows for higher throughput over existing cabling. However, the maximum cable length that supports 5G operation is limited by the quality of the cable and signal attenuation. Category 5e cabling can support 5G operation up to a length of 130 meters, which is within the acceptable range for maintaining the required signal integrity for 5G speeds.

 The connectivity of 802.11a, which operates in the 5 GHz band, is reduced in X-ray rooms primarily due to the increased signal attenuation caused by the lead and other dense materials used in the construction of these rooms to shield against X-ray radiation. These materials effectively block or weaken the radio signals used for wireless communication

portable X-ray machines, sending high-resolution images, sometimes in real time, echography machines, and electrocardiography [ECG] machines). These devices may also use the same spectrum as Wi-Fi but with other protocols and, therefore, become sources of interference for your system.

In a Cisco wireless network, when designing for client roaming between access points (APs) that are connected to different controllers, especially in a global enterprise with multiple data centers, it is essential to ensure seamless client mobility. Mobility lists are used in such scenarios to define which controllers are allowed to participate in client roaming. This feature allows the APs connected to controllers within one group (e.g., Group ABC) to recognize and facilitate roaming clients from another group (e.g., Group XYZ). The mobility list is configured on each controller and includes the IP addresses of other controllers that should be considered part of the same mobility domain. When a client roams from an AP on one controller to an AP on another controller, if both controllers are in each other’s mobility list, they will establish a mobility tunnel through which they exchange the client’s context and security credentials. This ensures that the client can roam without re-authentication and maintains session continuity.

A Patch antenna should be used to provide wireless coverage on the perimeter of a building while minimizing signal leakage. Patch antennas have a directional radiation pattern that can be focused along the perimeter.

 In environments with high client density, deploying APs for 5 GHz coverage is recommended due to the larger number of non-overlapping channels available, which can support higher data rates and client capacity. Disabling the 2.4 GHz radios on some APs can reduce interference and improve overall network performance.

When a client roams between two access points (APs) that are registered to different controllers with interfaces in the same client subnet, the controllers will exchange mobility control messages over UDP port 16666. This is in accordance with the Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSD) guidelines. The purpose of these messages is to ensure seamless roaming, where the client’s session and authentication state are transferred from one controller to another without requiring re-authentication or re-association by the client. The mobility control messages facilitate the coordinated transfer of the client database entry from the original controller to the new one, maintaining a consistent experience for the user.

 The decision to avoid installing APs directly in offices is likely due to transmit power considerations. Placing APs within offices could lead to excessive coverage for small areas, causing interference with other APs and reducing overall network performance. By placing them in common areas like corridors, engineers can ensure more uniform coverage across larger spaces while managing transmit power more effectively for optimal performance.

In a global mesh deployment, using redundant controllers in the least restrictive regulatory domain ensures the highest number of channels available for backhaul. This design accommodates the varying regulatory constraints of different regions by adhering to the domain with the most lenient channel availability.
