- NOTE: Conducted transmit power levels exclude antenna gain. For total (EIRP) transmit power, add antenna
gain.
• Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) minimizes the impact of interference from cellular networks
• Maximum ratio combining (MRC) for improved receiver performance
• Cyclic delay/shift diversity (CDD/CSD) for improved downlink RF performance
• Short guard interval for 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz and 160 MHz channels
• Space-time block coding (STBC) for increased range and improved reception
• Low-density parity check (LDPC) for high-efficiency error correction and increased throughput
• Transmit beam-forming (TxBF) for increased signal reliability and range
• Supported data rates (Mbps):
- 802.11b: 1, 2, 5.5, 11

Proprietary extension; shown rates shown are for the highest NSS only; additional rates for lower NSS values are supported as
well.
Wi-Fi Antennas
• AP-344: External antenna models. Two sets of four RP-SMA antenna connectors:
- Primary: A0 - A3, connected to chains 0 through 3 respectively on each associated radio
 With AP in dual-radio mode: dual-band interfaces, diplexing signals to/from radio 0 (full 5 GHz) and
radio 1 (2.4 GHz)
 With AP in dual-5 GHz mode: 5 GHz interfaces from radio 0 (upper 5 GHz)
- Secondary: B0 - B3, connected to chains 0 through 3 respectively
 With AP in dual-radio mode: not used
 With AP in dual-5 GHz mode: 5 GHz interfaces from radio 1 (lower 5 GHz)
- Total internal losses between radio and external connectors:
 With AP in dual-radio mode: 2.0 dB for 5 GHz, 2.0 dB for 2.4 GHz
 With AP in dual-5 GHz mode: 2.0 dB for upper 5 GHz, 1.7 dB for lower 5 GHz
• AP-345: Internal antenna models. A total of eight internal omni-directional downtilt antennas
- Radio 1: four cross-polarized dual-band downtilt omni-
directional antennas for 4x4 MIMO with peak antenna gain
of 5.8 dBi (2.4 GHz) and 5.6 dBi (5 GHz) per antenna.
 With AP in dual-radio mode: used for 2.4 GHz only
 With AP in dual-5 GHz mode: used for lower 5 GHz only
- Radio 0: four cross-polarized 5 GHz downtilt omnidirectional antennas for 4x4 MIMO with peak antenna gain of
5.5 dBi per antenna
 With AP in dual-radio mode: used for full 5 GHz only
 With AP in dual-5 GHz mode: used for upper 5 GHz only
- All internal antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for
maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees.
- Combining the patterns of all antennas per radio, the peak gain of the average (effective) pattern is:
 Radio 1: 3.1 dBi in 2.4 GHz and 2.7 dBi in 5 GHz
 Radio 0: 2.2 dBi in 5 GHz
