About AP-8000 Dual Radio Wireless Access Point
The AP-8000 is 802.11n dual radio wireless Access Point that provides connectivity between wired network and wireless
systems and other devices. The AP-8000 wireless Access Point is a Wi-Fi a/b/g/n certified that supports dual radio
modes in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency band.
With AP-8000, you can achieve higher throughput by increasing the channel width from 20 MHz to 40 MHz thereby
doubling the data rate and by using the MIMO feature. The 802.11n products have incorporated multiple antennas. This
Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna technology provides various features, such as spatial multiplexing, short
Guard Interval (GI) for increased range and throughput.
In AP-8000, using the Channel Bonding technique, you can achieve higher throughput by increasing the channel width
from 20 MHz to 40 MHz thereby doubling the data rate.
NOTE: Wherever "11n" is mentioned, it refers to the Draft 802.11n Version 2.0.
