This document will describe the industrial design and
modularity, and provide step-by-step configurations for
typical use cases in multi-tenant markets such as hotels.
The glossary of features lists the webUI screens, along
with a short description of the functionality. The high-
powered radio will need to be tested by comparing the
Altitude™ 4511 with other, "known" access points. When the
comparison is made, the value of the Altitude 4511 will
become more apparent.
