AP-100AH User's Manual
4-3. Radio Configuration
The AP-100AH allows users to select the
channel bandwidth
, the
channel
, and the
transmitter power
.
The channel bandwidth affects the data rate and the reach of wireless communication. The
lower channel bandwidth is suitable for applications that require more extended reach with a
lower data rate. When a higher data rate is required, the higher channel bandwidth increases
the data rate while the distance becomes shorter. The table below shows the theoretical data
rate in each channel bandwidth with the short GI (Guard Interval). Note that MCS (Modulation
and Coding Scheme) is automatically
