Minimal Overlap Coverage Option

By arranging the access points so that the overlap in a coverage area is minimized, a large area can be
covered with minimal cost (see
depends on the amount of data each mobile station needs to transfer and the number of stations located
in each cell. Seamless roaming is supported as a client device moves in and out of range of each access

Multiple networks can operate in the same vicinity (see
channels that can exist in the same area with virtually no interference to each other. In this mode, each

configurations) prevent clients from roaming to access points of a different wireless network.
