Client Roaming in a Micro and Macro Cell
RF Operations on "E/P" Series Access Points
4 High ceilings (factory and warehouse deployments) can use back to back 6 dBi Patch antennas
5 AP using 2x 5–GHz radio can double the coverage with the addition of one antenna
6 Conference centers and other locations can double capacity on existing Ethernet cable plan
7 One access point can support both indoor and outdoor deployments
8 Access point can serve 5–GHz clients while performing full 2.4 & 5–GHz wireless monitor radio
When using the smart antenna connector and dual 5–GHz mode the caveats are:
1 Channels must not be closer than 100–MHz
2 Antennas should not be mounted so that energy from one antenna is directed into another
3 Ideally if one antenna is Omni then 6 ft or 2 meter physical separation
4 Antennas may be closer if used in Micro cell (very low power) is used
5 Any combination of Micro/Macro can be used as long as physical isolation exists
6 SSIDs must be the same (this may change in later releases)
Figure 41: Example using "E/P" version to create two macro cells can be supported
