12. Not all 802.11 devices are not the same –Many medical devices advertise 802.11g but only communicate at 1mbps or 2mbps. This will degrade performance for the rest of the devices within range. –Client devices control the roaming behavior –When choosing a VoWiFi vendor, choose a vendor with experience and fully test in your environment prior to rolling out. Do not choose a 1 st generation VoWiFi handset. Ask for references and speak with them regarding their experiences.
