Caution
APs/BHMs that have slightly mismatched transmit-to-receive ratios and low levels of
data traffic may see little effect on throughput. A system that was not tuned for co-
location may work fine at low traffic levels, but encounter problems at higher traffic
levels. The conservative practice is to tune for co-location before traffic ultimately
increases. This prevents problems that occur as sectors are built.
The OFDM Frame Calculator page is explained in Table 189.
