Wireless LAN Array
Introduction 11
Extended Coverage
One XS-3900 solution enables you to replace up to sixteen access points—fifteen
IAP radios with integrated directional antennas provide increased wireless range
and enhanced data rates in all directions. With an XS deployed, far fewer access
points are needed for your wireless network. Radio abg2 (see Figure 6) can be
switched to use an integrated omnidirectional antenna—for listening only—and
can be dedicated to the tasks of site monitoring and rogue AP detection.
