U Ranges
The actually obtained distances for radio transfers depend strongly on the in-
dividual environment. In particular influences of noise and obstacles have an
effect on the range. Decisive is an optimal placement of the radio stations
(both network adapters and base stations). For further increase of the trans-
fer distance, we recommend the operation with additional antennas.
U IEEE standards
In order to guarantee a maximum of compatibility, Hirschmann Systems fully
complies with the industry standards of the IEEE
1
described in the preceding
paragraph. For this reason, your BAT base station operates without prob-
lems and with reliably also with devices of other manufacturers.
Your BAT base station supports - according to the model type - the standards
IEEE 802.11g (downward-compatible to IEEE 802.11b), and/or IEEE
802.11a.
