Engineers sought to determine the effectiveness of Airespace products at supporting VoIP over 802.11b wireless LAN connections with key capabilities such as: QoS prioritization of VoIP over non real-time traffic, support for maximum VoIP phone loading, acceptable hand-off times for calls roaming between switches, and acceptable latency characteristics.

Tolly Group found that the Airespace equipment:

  • Throttled back non-real-time data with QoS active when VoIP sessions traversed the access point
  • Supported up to 14 VoIP phones per access point
  • Achieved interrupt-free handoff in various deployments
  • Delivered average wireless system latency of 3 milliseconds, proving that infrastructure should not impact wireless session performance
