Wi-Fi Array
18 Introduction
Flexible Coverage Schemes
Your Wi-Fi Array offers flexible coverage schemes for each wireless technology.
Figure 9. Coverage Schemes
z 802.11a/n, 802.11a
Delivers 60° wireless coverage per IAP, with 6 dBi of gain.
z 802.11b/g/n, 802.11b/g
Delivers 180° wireless coverage, with 3 dBi of gain.
z 802.11a/b/g/n, 802.11a/b/g (monitor only)
Delivers 360° wireless coverage, with 2 dBi of gain.
Non-Overlapping Channels
Complete use of non-overlapping channels limits interference and delivers
maximum capacity. On the XN16, up to 16 non-overlapping channels are fully
utilized across the 5GHz and 2.4GHz spectrums (up to 12 across the 5GHz
spectrum plus up to 3 across the 2.4 GHz spectrum—typically, one additional
radio is used as a dedicated RF monitor).
Secure Wireless Access
Multiple layers of authentication and encryption ensure secure data
transmissions. The Wi-Fi Array is 802.11i compliant with encryption support for
40 bit and 128 bit WEP, WPA and WPA2 with TKIP and AES encryption.
Authentication support is provided via 802.1x, including PEAP, EAP-TLS, EAP-
TTLS, and LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) passthrough.
