Coverage Area
SkyZhone access point’s signals extend up and down, and all around to minimize dead spots.
The SkyZhone access point uses 5dBi antennas that provide a 26-degree beam-width per
antenna. Additionally, the three 2.4 GHz antennas are oriented to provide complete coverage
both horizontally and vertically.
In Figure 1 on page 1315, note that the 4.9 GHz 802.11a radio uses the bottom two antennas and
the 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g radio uses the top three antennas.
The 2.4 GHz radio operates in the unlicensed ISM band and can be used for a variety of
applications such as Internet Access, Voice over IP, Mobile Video, or Enterprise VPN.
The 4.9 GHz radio operates in the licensed spectrum reserved for Public Safety users including
city government, police, fire and EMT.
