If you have designed a network for dense 5 GHz
coverage, then you have too many 2.4 GHz radios
• 
2.4 GHz has 1/7th the channels of 5 GHz spectrum in the –
A regulatory and it propagates roughly 1.5x farther
• 
Prior to the 2800/3800 and 8.2 MRs release, your only
option was to disable these radios. Disabling the radio
provides no value other than making the 2.4 GHz
spectrum manageable, but no location, rogue or other
information is gathered.
• 
New in RRM is a redundant radio Identification algorithm
to identify and manage locating redundant radios, and
assign 1 of multiple roles it can play that and value to the
equation.

Just like the WSM and WSM2, the XOR radio can be used to

Since it does not serve traffic – dwell time can be exclusively
dedicated to monitoring. That’s 1200 ms dwells vs 50 ms dwells
On the slot 0 radio on the 2800/3800 radio can also transmit – so
