Roaming - Light Overlap

With RangeLAN2's multi-channel architecture, Access Points can be placed within the same
cell area to increase the aggregate throughput supported by the network. In addition, the
overlapping cells offer redundancy of coverage required in networks where downtime is not
tolerated.
