BreadCrumb XL

The BreadCrumb XL is a long-range model, capable of 11Mb communications at distances of 7 miles (11.2km) or more, and lower-speed communications at even greater range. BreadCrumb XLs have been rapidly deployed:

•In Air Trafﬁc Control towers

•On mountaintops

•On ships

Important: The range-extending circuitry within a BreadCrumb XL is permanently tuned to 802.11b channels 1 and 11. Changing these settings may prevent your network from operating properly.
