Transmit Power


Receiver PerformanceReceiver Performance

• The redesigned receiver has better sensitivity than the 4800 or the 340 radios (@ 10-5BER)

-85 dBm @ 11mb

-89 dBm @ 5.5mb

-91 dBm @ 2mb

-94 dBm @ 1mb

The new receiver also has better multipath performance, resulting in better range.

Environmental CharacteristicsEnvironmental Characteristics

• Temperature ranges

Access Point- 0 to +50deg C

Radio Card- -20 to +70deg C

Extended Temperature Access Point- (Future release as Bridge) -20 to +55C


AC Power requirementsAC Power requirements

• Cost of AC cabling is Astronomical

• As much as $30K for a building like bldg.# 19 in San Jose

• In line power will reduce this cost.

• Cisco End to End solution


Inline Power Inline Power

Source operating current from the Ethernet Port, over the Cat 5 cable.

Line power configuration is compliant with all of Cisco’s line power enabled devices such as switches and line power patch panels.

An optional line power injector is an available option.

Distances up to 100 meters


Inline Power (cont)Inline Power (cont)

• Can only be used with the 350 series product and not the 340 series.

• AP350 series responds to the phone-discovery algorithm sent by the Cisco powered switches.

World Mode

Client LISTENS to an AP at startup.

AP sends out information with the beacons about its Channel set (frequencies, power levels)

Client assumes that particular channel set criteria

Compliance with international regulations is maintained
