• Model AP2660 – External antenna (dual external antennas), RP-SMA
connectors
Note: Since the HiPath Wireless Outdoor AP is meant for outdoor environments,
it is also referred to as the Outdoor AP.
Although the HiPath Wireless Outdoor AP is meant for outdoor environments, it
can also be deployed in indoor environments.
Note: The configuration process is identical for HiPath Wireless APs, HiPath
Wireless Outdoor APs and HiPath Wireless 802.11n APs, unless specified
otherwise.
Note: The radio specifications of the HiPath Wireless Outdoor AP is identical to
the HiPath Wireless AP. For more information, see Section 4.1.1.1, “HiPath
Wireless AP radios”, on page 58
4.1.3 HiPath Wireless 802.11n AP
The HiPath Wireless 802.11n AP is an IEEE 802.11n (draft)-compliant access
point that offers significant increase in data throughput and coverage range
without additional bandwidth or transmit power. With both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
802.11n (draft) standard radio modules, the 802.11n AP delivers total data rates
of up to 300 Mbps. Given that the improved throughput of 300 Mbps will be spread
over a number of simultaneous users, the performance of 802.11n AP will be
close to that of a wired 100 Mbps Ethernet connection — the standard for desktop
connectivity. With the 802.11n AP, mobile users get a similar experience to wired
networks while accessing high-bandwidth data, voice, and video applications.
Note: The Wireless 802.11n AP is backward-compatible with existing
802.11a/b/g networks.
Note: The Wireless 802.11n AP cannot operate as a stand-alone access point.
MIMO
The mainstay of 802.11 AP is MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) — a
technology that uses advanced signal processing with multiple antennas to
improve the throughput. MIMO takes the advantage of multipath propogation to
decrease packet retries to improve the fidelity of the wireless network.
