NOTES:
2. In Europe, 2.4-GHz ETSI and 5.4-GHz SMs can have a reflector added to focus the antenna pattern and reduce
interference, but transmit output power must be reduced to maintain the same EIRP as without a reflector, so
the throughput and range specs for PTMP links remain the same.
3. In the USA and Canada, the use of a reflector with a full power radio in the 5.2-GHz frequency band is not
allowed.
4. These values assume a hardware series P9 AP running hardware scheduler. When running software scheduler
on a series P7, P8, or P9 AP, aggregate throughput drops to 6.2 Mbps, and only 4 Mbps is available to any one
SM. (Series P7 and P8 APs can only run software scheduler.)
5. All 900-MHz APs are Advantage APs.
GENERALNOTES:
Range is affected by RF conditions, terrain, obstacles, buildings, and vegetation.
An Advantage AP in other than 900 MHz has an aggregate (sum of uplink plus downlink) throughput or capacity of
14 Mbps, if RF conditions, range, and SM hardware version permit.
An Advantage SM in other than 900 MHz has an aggregate sustained throughput of 14 Mbps if RF conditions and
range permit.
A regular SM can burst to 14 Mbps if RF conditions and range permit, then run at 7 Mbps sustained throughput.
An OFDM SM has an aggregate throughput or capacity of XX Mbps, if RF conditions and range permit.d
