About the Radio Switch RS4000 3
The RS4000 works in conjunction with an external wideband RF combination omni directional
(WRC/OD) antenna. Only one antenna is needed for simultaneous operation of all radios of an
RS4000 in both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. The antenna must be connected to the Radio Switch
using any one of the low-loss antenna cables provided in the antenna packaging.
The RS4000 is a blade-server-type modular design for field-upgrades. By replacing the radio blade
inside the RS4000, a higher number of 802.11a/bg radios and/or 802.11n can be supported.
The following table lists the key hardware features of the RS4000.
