Enhanced RF Security ‘Stealth Mode’

Note: Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID) is automatically turned off when you select the AutoCell Enhanced RF Security option.

In this mode, AutoCell shrinks the size of coverage to the minimum to reach clients but also shrinks the size of the beacons that access points use to announce their presence. This mode makes an enterprise wireless LAN nearly invisible to users outside an office building.

AutoCell AP/Client Interaction

AutoCell's self-organizing micro cells provide performance benefits and an additional level of privacy for enterprises.

Automatic Transmit Power Control. An AutoCell-enabled client’s RF transmit power level is automatically coordinated with an AutoCell-enabled AP. This creates client micro-cells and reduces co-channel interference with other clients and APs on the same frequency and improves overall throughput and performance. (Requires: AutoCell-enabled AP)

Automatic Load-Balancing.An AutoCell-enabled client will seek out and associate to the lightest loaded AutoCell-enabled AP available. (Requires: AutoCell-enabled AP)

Rapid Roaming. An AutoCell-enabled client will accurately and rapidly detect movement as distinguished from RF anomalies such as arbitrary and momentary changes in the surrounding RF domain. When it detects true movement, the client immediately seeks the best available AP at the highest data rate possible instead of waiting for the data rate to decline. (Does not Require AutoCell-enabled APs)
