Command Reference Guide
802.11a operates at 5.8 GHz with a maximum throughput of 54 Mbps. OFDM is used for transmission. The
North American channel set for 802.11 is derived from the lower channels, UNII-1 and UNII-2, in the
5.8 GHz frequency range. There are eight nonoverlapping or noninterfering channels, each 33 MHz wide.
The use of eight discreet APs in the same area, each set to one of the eight nonoverlapping channels, will
result in an aggregate bandwidth of 432 Mbps. The theoretical maximum distance for 802.11a is
50 meters. However, the actual distance is approximately 25 meters in a typical office environment.
802.11a is not compatible with 802.11b or g.
The data rate associated with any of the radios will continue to drop as a user moves
farther away from the AP. The highest data rates will be achieved in areas closest to the
AP.
Usage Examples
The following example sets the radio mode to radio type g only on an 802.11bg wireless radio:
(config)#interface dot11ap 1/1 radio-type 802.11bg
(config-dot11ap 1/1-bg)#radio-mode g
