Distance Between APs
Distance Between APs defines how far apart (physically) your AP devices
are located, which in turn determines the size of your cell. Cells of
different sizes have different capacities and, therefore, suit different
applications. For instance, a typical office has many stations that require
high bandwidth for complex, high-speed data processing. In contrast, a
typical warehouse has a few forklifts requiring low bandwidth for simple
transactions.
NOTE:
This feature is not available if you are using an
Avaya 802.11a/b Card or a non-Avaya Wireless client with the AP.
Cell capacities are compared in the following table, which shows that
small cells suit most offices and large cells suit most warehouses:
Small Cell
Physically accommodates few
stations
High cell bandwidth per station
High transmit rate
4-40
Large Cell
Physically accommodates many
stations
Lower cell bandwidth per station
Lower transmit rate
