For those who worry about things like which channel large groups of wireless access points are on, there hasn’t been a lot to get excited about on the topic over the last couple of years. For most “smart WLAN systems”, you put your faith in a murky channel selection algorithm, respect that the 2.4 GHz band only has three non-overlapping channels, and hope that the vendor built the right intelligence into the product set. That changes with ChannelFly, the new channel selection method from Ruckus that challenges tradition and promises big payoff for those willing to try the new magic.
