AP2600

[Kia Seng Ronald Tan]

My site is thinking of using AP 2600 instead of the trusty AP 3502 since it has better thru put. May I know if anyone can share any experience on 2600 as we want to ensure stability for our deployment. Ay major issues?

Thanks in advance

Kia,

The 2600's are fine. I'm guessing its due to some of the complaints of the poor throughput some have experienced and have stated in this forum? I do have clients that have the 2600's, 3500's and or the 3600 s and really... They are all fine. My clients who choose the 2600's was really due to the cost when comparing it with the 3600's. All in all, they have all worked fine and if I didn't know anything about AP's, I couldn't tell a difference when I was on their wireless. Just my 2 cents.

Hi,

We've got a site which has a high number of the new 2602I & E models with no reported issues. They are using 802.11A for Voice (7925) phones with B/G allocated to data.

Overall, i can see it being a good seller!

First time I've heard that the 2600 has a "better throughput" than the bigger 3500.

The only reason why one would use the 1600/2600 against the 3500/3600 is cost.  Otherwise, engineering-wise, the 1600, 2600 and 3600 are identical.  The only thing that seperates the three are the coding inside the chips.
