If the installer/administrator determines a need to power the module from a 15.4 Watt power source
(perhaps it is a high density installation where there is plenty of 2.4 coverage) or the AP is being used
to augment areas with 802.11ac where 2.4 coverage is already present – if so, the internal 2.4 GHz radio
can be disabled allowing the AP 3600 with the 802.11ac module to come up with full power and full
functionality. This is a significantly better approach allowing installers to perform full functionality site
surveys at 15.4 W (802.11af) rather than compromising RF power and shutting down Spatial Streams
and other ports.

Because the module antennas are internal, the module radiates much like an AP 3600i would because
there are no RF connectors on the module, so the antennas “appear” as they would on the internal models.
