Mobile device roaming behaviors

Not all mobile devices are created equal and not all agree on the best ways to roam when connected to Wi-Fi networks. A recent poll of Wi-Fi experts agree 80% of Wi-Fi issues are client related. Wi-Fi clients are like humans. They all hear differently (receive sensitivity), speak at different levels (transmission power), and each have their own roaming behavior. In this session we will exam 802.11 AP-AP client roaming, triggers and mechanisms, advance security roaming overhead and protocols OKC, PMK, and 802.11r/k/v. Join us to learn more about troubleshooting a wide range of device connectivity issues and client roaming problems in this session.
