•Distance Between Cells—The distance between the cells varies according to the floor plan of the building and the nature of the indoor environment. Five general categories of areas can be classified:

1.Open Indoor Areas—Open office areas with no partitioning and no obstacles between the Hub and the Wireless Ethernet workstation.

Suggested maximum distance between Hub and workstation: 150 m (500 ft.)

With high-gain antennas: 250 m (800 ft.)

2.Semi-open Indoor Areas—Anopen-plan office divided into cubicles. Factory floor areas, warehouses, etc.

Suggested maximum distance between Hub and workstation: 80 m (260 ft.)
