Radio Requirements for 2.4GHz
The 2.4 GHz band mPCIe radio module is operational from channels 1 to 14 of legacy
802.11 bg or in 802.11 n 3x3 stream of 20 MHz channel modes. At MCS0 data rate, it
provides 18 dBm transmit power per chain (200 mW combined 3-stream output power)
and -90 dBm reception. With MCS23 data rate, it provides 12dBm transmit power per
chain (50 mW combined 3-stream output power) and -70 dBm reception. It consumes
less than 2.75 W at maximum power draw.
Reviewers, please clarify the performance details.
The 2.4 GHz horizontally polarized antenna model of WLA532 access point includes one
2.4GHz band, 2 dBi gain, omnidirectional, horizontally polarized internal antenna, which
maximizes the MIMO performance from 2dBi to -4dBi around the 360 degrees horizontal
plane.
The 2.4 GHz vertically polarized antenna model of WLA532 access point includes two
2.4 GHz band, 3 dBi gain, 5 degree down-tilt omnidirectional, vertically polarized internal
antenna, which maximizes the MIMO performance from 3dBi to -9dBi around the 360
degrees horizontal plane.

Radio Requirements for 5GHz
The 5 GHz band mPCIe radio module is operational from channels 36 to 165 in legacy
802.11 a or 802.11 n 3x3 stream of 20 MHz and 40MHz channel modes. At MCS0 data
rate, it provides 18 dBm transmit power per chain (200 mW combined 3-stream output
power) and -90dBm reception. With MCS23 data rate, it provides 12dBm transmit power
per chain (50 mW combined 3-stream output power) and -67 dBm reception. It consumes
less than 4.25 W at maximum power draw.
Reviewers, please clarify the performance details.
