A vendor’s proprietary roam-assist feature is enabled on city APs, but BYOD phones that only implement standards-based roaming still roam poorly. What should the technician understand?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Vendor-only roam magic doesn’t show up on a stock phone that only speaks IEEE assists. Standards-based features are what BYOD actually uses. Don’t expect proprietary checkboxes to fix every client.
Full Explanation
Proprietary roaming optimizations interoperate with supporting client stacks and may provide little or no benefit to standards-only devices. Mixed municipal BYOD environments therefore depend on standards-based roaming features for broad improvement. Technicians should not assume proprietary AP features upgrade all clients or that cellular identifiers drive enterprise Wi-Fi roam decisions indoors.
