USER COVERAGE RANGES FOR BLUETOOTH, 802.11A, 802.11B, & 802.11G
Exact range calculations for each of the technologies cannot be provided as many factors impact
the range and coverage area. These factors include; physical environment configuration,
interfering factors (such as walls, cubicles, desks, elevators, etc), and use of external versus
internal antennas, to name just a few. The Strix Architect/One application will enable users to
understand what ranges to expect based on their exact deployment environment. In
performance benchmarking against competitive products the Strix solution met or exceeded our
primary competitor’s range. Following is a table that provides general information regarding
what types of ranges should be expected for the various wireless technologies supported by the
