Yup.

I actually asked my question poorly. Yeah, I know that RTS/CTS minimizing collision, but I'm looking for how the proverbial sausage is made in getting throughput numbers up in super dense conference areas.

Maybe if I phrase my question a different way...

Is there a way to get the power down on each client so that the RTS/CTS isn't even necessary?

I don't know enough about 802.11 to know whether or not STAs only send out *just* enough info so as not to collide with anything else, or if they just blast it out at some constant power level, collide with whatever they collide with on that channel, and then deal with the collision via RTS/CTS.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
