Figure 44: Remote AP deployment
The co-located SM receives data in one frequency band, and the remote AP must redistribute the
data in a different frequency band. Base your selection of frequency band ranges on regulatory
restrictions, environmental conditions, and throughput requirements.
IMPORTANT!
Each relay hop (additional daisy-
chained remote AP) adds approximately 6 msec
latency.
Remote AP Performance
The performance of a remote AP is identical to the AP performance in cluster. Throughputs,
ranges, and patch antenna coverage are identical. CAP 130s and CSM 130s (or CAP 09130s and
CSM 09130s) can be deployed in tandem in the same sector to meet customer bandwidth
demands.
As with all equipment operating in the unlicensed spectrum, Cambium strongly recommends that
you perform site surveys before you add network elements. These will indicate that spectrum is
available in the area where you want to grow. Keep in mind that
• non-LoS ranges heavily depend on environmental conditions.
• in most regions, not all frequencies are available.
• your deployments must be consistent with local regulatory restrictions.
