20 100-8026-100G Airborne 802.11b/g Value Radio Databook Revision 1.0
7.1 AC Electrical Characteristics – Transmitter
Transmit power is automatically managed by the device for minimum power
consumption. The MAXIMUM transmit power at the RF connector is typically
+15dBm ± 2 dB for B-Mode (all rates) and +12dBm+/-2dB for G-Mode (all rates).
7.2 Performance/Range
The following table illustrates the typical data rates, performance and range the
device is capable of providing using an omni directional antenna.

Ranges are based on receiver sensitivity, Transmitter power, free-space path
loss estimates, antenna gain factors, and link margin estimates. Actual range will
vary from those stated. Non-line-of-site applications will result in typical values
less than shown above.
The Data Rate is the supported connection rate for the wireless link, the actual
data throughput for the link will be less than the stated data rates.
