Access Point Antenna Cabling (Optional)
In many installations, the Access Point antenna must have omni directional RF
coverage to support communication from nearby 802.11 wireless terminals. Thus,
in the standard configuration the Access Point shares the same antennas as the
Location Sensor.
However, in some installations the distance between the Location Sensor and the
receiving Access Point is beyond the maximum **TBD** range supported by the
omni directional antennas. In that case the optional high gain antenna must be
utilized to permit the embedded Access Point to communicate with the receiving
Access Point. The high gain Access Point antenna will increase the
communication range to approximately 2000 feet (620 m) (US Only), at a bit rate
of 1 MB/s, when used in conjunction with a receiving omni directional antenna.
The range in Europe will be less due to regulatory output power restrictions.
