RF Transmission (TX) Power AP 4 Today’s high density networks are no longer focused

RF Transmission (TX) Power AP 4 Today’s high density networks are no longer focused on the maximum area that a single radio can cover. Coverage vs Capacity 4 Increasing numbers of devices person and per square foot are demanding smaller, high capacity, Wi Fi cells As density and usage increases… …wireless performance deteriorates 4 Avaya provides Ultra Low Transmit power (down to 15 d. Bm) to create very small Wi Fi coverage Cells

RF Receiver (RX) Sensitivity AP 4 High performance networks require that wireless clients achieve

RF Receiver (RX) Sensitivity AP 4 High performance networks require that wireless clients achieve the best possible data rates and throughput the network can offer. 4 Adjusting RX Threshold values can ensure that clients with weak signals and therefore low data rates do not negatively impact clients with good RF signal. 6. 5 Mbps 300 Mbps 6. 5 Mbps 4 Avaya APs allow for adjustable receive sensitivity on a per radio basis 4 With proper wireless design, you can ensure that all your clients have the best possible signal.

How this benefits you 4 Enhanced RF technology provides further differentiation from the competition

How this benefits you 4 Enhanced RF technology provides further differentiation from the competition 4 Ultra low TX power provides: – Greater use and reuse of 2. 4 GHz channels with very small (pico) cells. – Reduce the amount of AP co channel interference (interference between radios on the same channel). 4 Adjustable RX/Receive Sensitivity provides: – Ability to guarantee that associated devices have the best possible connections and throughput – Eliminate negative effects of clients with low signals – Provide RF “no go” zones. Areas in which Wi Fi coverage is prohibited due to IT defined access rules.
