Distance Between APs

Distance Between APs defines how far apart (physically) your AP devices are located, which in turn determines the size of your cell. Cells of different sizes have different capacities and, therefore, suit different applications. For instance, a typical office has many stations that require high bandwidth for complex, high-speed data processing. In contrast, a typical warehouse has a few forklifts requiring low bandwidth for simple transactions.

NOTE:

This feature is not available if you are using an

Avaya 802.11a/b Card or a non-Avaya Wireless client with the AP.

Cell capacities are compared in the following table, which shows that small cells suit most offices and large cells suit most warehouses:

Small Cell	Large Cell
Physically accommodates few	Physically accommodates many
stations	stations
High cell bandwidth per station	Lower cell bandwidth per station
High transmit rate	Lower transmit rate
