Figure 3: Typical Wireless Network
Assessing Coverage and Capacity Requirements
Airgo Networks wireless technology significantly increases wireless coverage or capacity in
comparison to other wireless LAN products. This wireless advantage allows an access point to
service a large area or provide higher data rates, depending upon the conditions at your location.
Figure 4 illustrates the contrast between typical wireless coverage and Airgo wireless coverage.
Each Airgo AP can service a wider area or provide higher data rates than alternative solutions.
Precise coverage and capacity vary considerably depending on factors such as the specific 802.11
protocol being used, antenna placement and location, building construction materials, and local
obstructions.
