There are two 802.11an/802.11bgn dualband radios in an Altitude 4700 Access Point for WLAN operation: labeled as R1 and R2. Radio R1 is set as an 802.11bgn radio (2.4 GHz) and radio R2 as 802.11an radio (5 GHz). The frequency band of these radios cannot be changed for WLAN operation. However, radio R1, radio R2, or both can be configured to a Rogue AP detector or a WIPS sensor. When the radio (R1 or R2) is in the Rogue AP detector mode or the WIPS sensor mode, it can cover both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band.

If the radio is configured to perform dual-band scanning, then an appropriate dual- band dipole antenna should be used for optimum coverage.

Each radio requires three antennas to achieve optimum MIMO performance for WLAN operation: R1-A/R1-B/R1-C for radio R1, and R2-A/R2-B/R2-C for radio R2. The third radio in Altitude 4750 is used only as a WIPS sensor and cannot be converted for WLAN operation.
