Chapter 4 : AP1004WRi Coverage
This section provides information on deployment options for optimal coverage from the AP1004WRi
Wireless Access Point.
AP1004WRi Radiation Pattern
The AP1004WRi has a patented, fully-integrated,
software-adjustable antenna system with the
following characteristics: band-optimized, tightly-
controlled radiation patterns, polarization and pattern
diversity, as well as beam angle and shape
configurability. Band-optimized antennas enable
optimal radiation in the entire 5 GHz spectrum;
polarization and pattern diversity provide enhanced
MIMO and MU-MIMO operation; beam angle and
shape configurability enable direct energy to various
spatial sectors for radio coverage zone control and
interference management. These unique features
provide system designers and integrators unparalleled
flexibility in various deployment venues, maximizing
network capacity with fewer AP’s and faster install
times
The 1004WRi leverages the combined power of four radios,
one 2.4 GHz (3x3:3) and three 5 GHz radios (4x4:4) with four
spatial streams per radio, for a total of 15 parallel streams. In
addition, dual 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports provide up to 5 Gbps of
wired backhaul. The 1004WRi also offers a BLE radio while the
2.4 GHz radio can be fully or partially repurposed for dual-band
intrusion detection and spectrum monitoring. The 1004WRi
features a patented design and system architecture enabling
concurrent quad-radio operation without impacting the
radio’s performance for best-in-class aggregate PHY
throughput of 5 Gbps. In addition, the patented design does
not compromise RF performance and radio coverage, making
the 1004WRi amenable to different deployment venues and
scenarios.
