Abstract
Described herein are systems, devices, techniques and products for operating network devices, such as wireless access points, in a network environment. For example, wireless client devices may have resources reserved for their use by a network device if the wireless client device is categorized for such resource reservation, such as if the wireless client device is categorized as more important than other wireless client devices. Such categorization may be indicated by a context associated with the wireless client device, including belonging to or being associated with an important user or being used for an important purpose, such as emergency purposes, prescheduled purposes or involving multiple users. Reservation of wireless resources for wireless client devices may be performed to ensure an important user or device is provided with adequate resources to place a voice or video call, for example.
