Figure 1.1 - Minimal Overlap Coverage Option
By arranging AP4500/4800 access points such that the overlap in coverage area is minimized, a large
area can be covered with minimal system cost. The total bandwidth available to each mobile client will
depend upon the amount of data each mobile client desires to transfer and the number of clients located
in each cell as well as the data rates used for transmission. Seamless roaming is supported as a mobile
client moves in and out of range of each access point, thereby maintaining a constant connection to the
backbone network. Each access point (and PC4500/4800s) must be configured with the same system
identifier in order to provide the roaming capability.
