devices.
• Both support two MIMO 3x3 (up to three 802.11n spatial streams).
• They provide two single band radios for dual-band, concurrent operation, optimized for
indoor antenna coverage:
– 5GHz (Radio 1) in any of the following modes: IEEE802.11 a/b/g and/or n
– 2.4GHz (Radio 2) in any of the following modes: IEEE802.11 a/b/g and/or n
