What feature helps mitigate interference from neighboring networks in Aruba's systems?

Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is a feature that helps mitigate interference from neighboring networks by allowing wireless devices to automatically select the best frequency channel to operate on. When a wireless access point detects that a channel is experiencing interference—either from another Wi-Fi network or other electronic devices—it can switch to a different channel that is less congested. This adaptability is crucial in environments where multiple access points operate in proximity to one another, as it ensures that each device minimizes interference and maximizes performance.

DFS operates by scanning for radar signals and other forms of interference and can dynamically adjust to changes in the RF environment. This capability not only enhances the user experience by maintaining stable connections but also complies with regulatory requirements for using certain frequency bands, particularly in the 5 GHz range, where such interference is more common.

Other options, while they may play roles in network management, do not provide the same level of dynamic responsiveness to environmental factors as Dynamic Frequency Selection does. For example, Fixed Channel Allocation does not allow for adjustments in response to interference, while Static Bandwidth Configuration pertains more to the amount of bandwidth allocated rather than managing channel interference. Signal Tightening isn’t a standard term used in this context, further emphasizing why Dynamic Frequency Selection is the most effective choice for addressing
