Technical basics
4.8 iREF
SCALANCE W780/W740 to IEEE 802.11n Web Based Management
62
Configuration Manual, 08/2018, C79000-G8976-C267-13
Restrictions
●
A maximum data rate of only up to 150 Mbps (MCS 0 - 7 or 1 x spatial stream) is possible
●
iREF cannot be used along with other iFeatures (for example iPCF or iPCF-MC)
Advantages
●
Due to the directional data transmission and dynamic deactivation of antennas that do not
radiate in the direction of the particular client, interference can be reduced.
●
The signal strength is improved because the active antenna always has the maximum
permitted transmit power available.
