Installation guide

Figure 35 provides a visual comparison of ClientLink 1.0, using 1 spatial stream, and ClientLink 2.0, using 3
spatial streams. Unlike the AP 3500, the AP 3600 provides multiple spatial streams using four transceivers for
even greater performance. AP 3600 can beamform to all 802.11a/g and 802.11n 1, 2 and 3 spatial stream
clients. The signal is x3 as each stream is beamformed.
Figure 35  Example of ClientLink (directing the signal to a client, in this case 1 spatial stream)
Note: In order to beamform to clients using 3 spatial streams, because 3 transmitters are used in the
transmissions, the AP needs at least one additional radio to beamform. The AP 3600 has 4 radios pre−band
and can beamform to clients using 3 spatial streams.
