802.11n deployment brings a new level of challenge for "traditional" Wi-Fi.

1. Channel planning

To get the full benefit of 802.11n, (and a 300Mb/s clock speed) each channel requires 40MHz of frequency width (against 20MHz for b and g) This means one non overlapping channel in the 2.4GHz spectrum (or 150Mb/s clock).

Meru single channel architecture allows adjacent 802.11n access points to be deployed on the same channel in the 2.4 GHz spectrum.
The alternative is to use the 5GHz spectrum, where there are virtually no ‘n’ devices and which does not propagate well through walls.

2. Backwards compatibility

Whilst 802.11n allows for backwards compatibility, b and g devices will slow the n network. Meru’s single channel architecture enables the co-location of separate b/g and n networks enabling both networks to operate at the highest speed.
