• The a/n radio supports 5 GHz radio
• The b/g/n radio supports 2.4 GHz radio
5 GHz radio supporting the 802.11a/n standard — When in legacy 802.11a
mode, the AP36xx supports data rates up to 54Mbps identical to the AP26xx. The
modulation used is OFDM. In 802.11n mode there are 2 supported channel
bandwidths, 20MHz and 40MHz. The 802.11n AP supports up to 300Mbps in
40MHz channels and 130Mbps in 20MHz channels. The modulation used is 3x3
MIMO (multiple input, multiple output).
2.4 GHz radio supporting the 802.11b/g/n standard — When in legacy
802.11b/g mode, the AP36xx supports data rates up to 54Mbps identical to the
AP26xx. The modulation used is OFDM for 11g and CCK for 11b. In 802.11n
mode there are 2 supported channel bandwidths, 20MHz and 40MHz. The
AP36xx supports up to 300Mbps in 40MHz channels and 130Mbps in 20MHz
channels. The modulation used is 3x3 MIMO (multiple input multiple output).
The radios are enabled or disabled through the HiPath Wireless Assistant. For
more information, see Section 4.5.3.1, “Modifying Wireless 802.11n AP 3610/
3620 radio properties”, on page 96.
The Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) bands are three
frequency bands of 100 MHz each in the 5 GHz band, designated for short-range,
high-speed, wireless networking communication.
The 802.11n AP supports the full range of frequencies available in the 5GHz
band:
• 5150 to 5250 MHz - U-NII Low band
• 5250 to 5350 MHz - U-NII middle band
• 5470 to 5700 MHz - New FCC approved band
• 5725 to 5825 MHz - U-NII high band
4.1.4 Wireless AP international licensing
The Wireless AP is licensed to operate in North America, the European Union
countries, and European Union free trade countries. Each European Union
country is assigned a particular radio band. The Wireless AP must be configured
to operate on the appropriate radio band according to each European Union
country. For more information, see Section B.2.5, “European community”, on
page 396.
To configure the appropriate radio band according to each European Union
country, use the HiPath Wireless Assistant. For more information, see Section
4.5, “Configuring Wireless AP settings”, on page 87.
