requirements:
Decide on the type of unit/router you will need.
• SPEEDLAN 9101: A unit/router used in a non-line-of-sight pico cell (using the Mesh pro-
tocol) is referred to as a SPEEDLAN 9101. This unit/router contains a standard, omni
antenna which is directly attached on the top. You do not need an external antenna. In
addition, the parameters are configured with the Mesh protocol in the SPEEDLAN 9000
Configurator.
This type of self-healing mesh topology process helps you reach buildings that do not have
a clear line-of-sight back to the base station without the possibility of interference from hid-
den transmitters. For more information on this topic, see SPEEDLAN 9000 Mesh Protocol --
