Wireless LAN Array

Extended Coverage
One XS-3900 solution enables you to replace up to sixteen access points (includes
one omnidirectional IAP for monitoring the network). Fifteen IAP radios with
integrated directional antennas provide increased wireless range and enhanced
data rates in all directions. With a Xirrus Array deployed, far fewer access points
are needed for your wireless network. Radio
abg2
(see
Figure 6
) can be switched
to use an integrated omnidirectional antenna—for listening only—and can be
dedicated to the tasks of site monitoring and rogue AP detection.
