Site Survey Considerations
While ClientLink dynamically beamforms and helps to maintain a robust signal which results in fewer
retries, it was not designed to change the cell range. ClientLink creates a better connection experience,
not larger cell size.
For this reason, when conducting a survey it is important to keep in mind that the AP 3600 cell sizes are
generally the same or very similar to other Cisco APs. Figure 63 depicts typical ranges in the 1 - 54 Mbps
range. While it is always recommended to survey with the equipment you intend to deploy, a previous
survey done with say an AP 3500 – would not be invalid for an AP 3600 deployment. Figure 64 and
Figure 65 provide examples of the modulation types and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
