10 Introduction
Key Features and Benefits
This section describes some of the key product features and the benefits you can
expect when deploying the XS-3900.
High Capacity and High Performance
The XS-3900 easily handles time-sensitive traffic, such as voice, and can enable
wireless connectivity for nearly 1,000 users. The unit includes two Gigabit uplink
ports for connection to the wired network. A total of sixteen IAPs provides a
maximum wireless capacity of 864 Mbps, which offers ample reserves for the high
demands of current and future applications. Of the sixteen IAPs, twelve operate
in the 802.11a mode and four operate in any combination of 802.11a, 802.11b and
802.11g.
If desired, IAP (radio) abg2 can also be configured in RF monitoring and rogue
AP detection mode.
