Sort of OT: Seamless WiFi roaming?


 

I guess this isn't really OT since networking and WiFi seems to be half of what we all do these days...

I'm looking for a wireless system (WAPs and controller) that can solve the "sticky WAP" syndrome where a wireless device will hang on to a weak WAP until it has totally lost signal before moving to a new, stronger WAP.

It seems that most of the controllers out there, like Ruckus and others, make configuring an array of WAPs much easier, potentially even automatic, but they still appear as individual WAPs to the client, setup on different channels with the same SSID. Am I correct?

The only thing I have come across that claims to solve this problem is from Meru (and Pakedge, which appears to re-badge the Meru product) with their "Virtual Cell" technology, but I haven't used either system yet. Does anyone have any experience with the Meru or Pakedge controllers, or is there something else out there that works like it?

Thanks,

-David
