through Console Port or over LAN
• Aironet Client Utility (ACU) for
site surveys, client configuration
Scalability
To meet Business Class requirements, WLANs must scale
to thousands of users.
• Microcellular Architecture delivers uninterrupted
network access as users roam from one AP to
another
• Provides coverage for a facility of practically any size
• Load Sharing maintains throughput as clients increase
within a microcell
• Variety of directional and omnidirectional antennas
tailor coverage area to fit facilities of different sizes
and materials
Performance
• Delivers Performance and Price: 11Mbps NICs are < $200
• 802.11b Direct Sequence is the High Speed Standard
