26. CleanAir Detect and Classify
High-resolution interference detection and classification logic
built-in to Cisco’s Wi-Fi chip design.
Detect and Classify
Interference
• Uniquely identify and track multiple
interferers
• Assess unique impact to Wi-Fi
performance
• Monitor Air Quality

27. Air Quality Index
• Air Quality is a measurement of non-wifi and
adjacent channel interference
• All Individual devices when Classified are assigned a
Severity Value
• Air Quality is a measure of all Devices/Severities
within a Radio, Floor, Building, or Campus
Good
Bad
Information passed from the AP to controllers is minimal:
it all happens on the AP
