802.11n Capacity
802.11n offers major increases in capacity over previous 802.11 standards, as
shown in Figure 28. Note that this chart shows figures for 802.11n (with two
spatial streams, but no channel bonding). Maximum values for the XN16, for
example, will be the same as those shown in the figure, except for the 802.11a
capacity—since there are only 16 IAPs, the maximum capacity would be 16 * 54
Mbps if all IAPs are used as 802.11a radios.
