We know CBRS based private LTE / 5G wireless and enterprise Wi-Fi networks have key differences, and their capabilities in handling client device mobility across access points within a wireless network are no exception.
Check out the next episode of our Field Journal series to get answers to questions like:
- How does infrastructure controlled mobility work for CBRS networks?
- What are the methods used in Wi-Fi to support client based mobility decisions?
- Which metrics are important to keep track of when comparing two technologies?
Key Takeaways
- LTE / 5G wireless traffic scheduling between infrastructure and client devices, combined with client handover decisions initiated by the cellular wireless network, guarantees a smooth transition of client devices between access points.
- Handover on cellular networks are typically less than 20 milliseconds and are secure by default utilizing SIM authentication. Client handover between Wi-Fi access points can take hundreds of milliseconds to complete.
- Due to dependency on client’s making the handover decision, Wi-Fi network design and validation also needs to take into account the client device capabilities and the quality of service requirements for underlying applications under use.
