Figure 1-6 Heavy Overlap Coverage Option
Multiple Overlapping Systems Coverage
Multiple systems can operate in the same vicinity (Figure 1-7). The architecture provides multiple
channels, which can exist in the same area with virtually no interference to each other. In this mode, each
system must be configured with different SSIDs and different channels, which prevent clients from
roaming to access points of a different wireless system.
