Dual-Band Radio Support
The access point can be initially configured from the factory for single- or dual-band radio operation.
However, an access point configured for single-band radio operation can be field-upgraded to support
dual-band radio operation using the 5-GHz radio module or the 2.4-GHz mini-PCI radio card.
2.4-GHz Mini-PCI Radio Card
The 2.4-GHz mini-PCI radio card connects to an internal access point mini-PCI slot. The radio card
contains a wireless LAN transceiver that operates in the 2.4-GHz frequency range to provide the access
point with single- or dual-band radio capability.
5-GHz Radio Module
The 5-GHz radio module connects to the access point's card bus connector. The module incorporates an
Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) radio transceiver operating in two of the UNII
5-GHz frequency bands and supporting up to 8 channels:
