4
High ceilings (factory and warehouse deployments) can use back to back 6 dBi Patch antennas
5
AP using 2x 5–GHz radio can double the coverage with the addition of one antenna
6
Conference centers and other locations can double capacity on existing Ethernet cable plan
7
One access point can support both indoor and outdoor deployments
8
Access point can serve 5–GHz clients while performing full 2.4 & 5–GHz wireless monitor radio
When using the smart antenna connector and dual 5–GHz mode the caveats are:
1
Channels must not be closer than 100–MHz
2
Antennas should not be mounted so that energy from one antenna is directed into another
3
Ideally if one antenna is Omni then 6 ft or 2 meter physical separation
4
Antennas may be closer if used in Micro cell (very low power) is used
5
Any combination of Micro/Macro can be used as long as physical isolation exists
6
SSIDs must be the same (this may change in later releases)
