Outdoor Ap - Extreme Networks Summit WM User Manual

The Figure 4 illustrates the following:
The Altitude AP has two radios - 11a radio and 11b/g radio.
The 11a radio supports 5 GHz radio
The 11b/g radio supports 2.4 GHz radio
The 11a radio and the 11b/g radio are connected to both the external antennas - EA1 and EA2.
5 GHz radio supporting the 802.11a standard - The 802.11a standard is an extension to 802.11 that
applies to wireless LANs and provides up to 54 Mbps in the 5-GHz band. The 802.11a standard uses an
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing encoding scheme, rather than Frequency-Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS) or Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS).
2.4 GHz radio supporting the 802.11b/g standards - The 802.11g standard applies to wireless LANs and
specifies a transmission rate of 54 Mbps. The 802.11b (High Rate) standard is an extension to 802.11 that
specifies a transmission rate of 11 Mbps. Since 802.11g uses the same communication frequency range as
802.11b (2.4 GHz), 802.11g devices can co-exist with 802.11b devices on the same network.
The radios are enabled or disabled through the Summit WM GUI. Both radios can be enabled to offer
service simultaneously. For more information, see
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 Altitude AP supports the full range of 802.11a:
5.15 to 5.25 GHz - U-NII Low Band
5.25 to 5.35 GHz - U-NII Middle Band
5.47 to 5.725 GHz - UNII 2+
5.725 GHz to 5.825 GHz Band - U-NII High Band

Outdoor AP

The Siemens-branded outdoor AP (OAP) can be managed by Summit WM controller. The following
models of Siemens-branded Outdoor APs are managed by Summit WM. These are dual radio 11a/b/g
access points designed for outdoor and harsh environment use.
SEN 2650 (Internal antennas)
SEN 2660 (External antennas)
A&D W786-2HPW (Internal antennas with Ethernet)
A&D W786-2HPW (Internal antennas with Fiber Optic)
A&D W786-2HPW (External antennas with Ethernet)
A&D W786-2HPW (External antennas with Fiber Optic)
The Outdoor AP enables you to extend your Wireless LAN beyond the confines of indoor locations.
They are resistant to harsh outdoor conditions and extreme temperatures. Using the advanced wireless
distribution feature of the Summit WM LAN, the Outdoor AP can extend your Wireless LAN to
outdoor locations without Ethernet cabling. A mounting bracket is available to enable quick and easy
mounting of the Outdoor APs to walls, rails, and poles.
The Outdoor AP supports the 802.11a, 802.11g, and full backward compatibility with legacy 802.11b
devices.
