Radio specification
Range:
•
Per cell indoors approx. 35-100 meters or more
•
Per cell outdoors up to 100-300 meters
•
The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas are placed near metal
surfaces and solid high-density materials.
•
Range is also impacted due to "obstacles" in the signal path of the radio that may either
absorb or reflect the radio signal.
•
In Open Office environments, antennas can "see" each other, i.e. there are no physical
obstructions between them.
•
In Semi-open Office environments, work space is divided by shoulder-height, hollow wall
elements; antennas are at desktop level.
•
In Closed Office environments, work space is separated by floor-to-ceiling brick walls.
Mobility:
•
Seamless roaming across cell boundaries with handover
