REFERENCED NOTES:
1. 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.
2. In the US and Canada, the use of a reflector with a full power radio in the 5.2-GHz frequency band is not
allowed.
3. In US, Europe, and Australia, 5.4-GHz SMs can have a reflector added to focus the antenna pattern, reduce
interference, and improve downlnk gain, 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. Reflectors are not
allowed on 5.4-GHz SMs in Canada at this time.
4. All 900-MHz APs are CAP 09130s.
GENERAL NOTES:
Range is affected by RF conditions, terrain, obstacles, buildings, and vegetation.
A CAP 130 has an aggregate (sum of uplink plus downlink) throughput or capacity of 14 Mbps, if RF conditions,
range, and SM hardware version permit.
An CSM 130 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 21 Mbps, if RF conditions and range permit.
