2 System Description
2.1 Extended Range WLAN System Infrastructure
The Teletronics Extended Range Amplified WLAN System consists principally of installing wireless
LAN Access Points (APs) or WLAN cards with an extended range (amplified) system at a customer
chosen site that have traditional wired network access (T-1, Fiber, or other medium) connectivity. When
used in conjunction with the site’s “wired-to-wireless” infrastructure, the extended range WLAN system
will essentially extend the WAN fixed site infrastructure within the chosen area wirelessly to any mobile
wireless client card and/or to other Extended range AP/Bridge fixed sites operating within the wireless
cell range (zone) of that site.
2.2 General Description
The Teletronics Extended Range Amplified Wireless LAN System is designed to be used strictly with the
system-included Cisco Aironet 350 Series Wireless product for offering Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS) wireless transceiver operation at the 11 Mbps data rate. It fully supports wireless
system connectivity and performance compatibility as described by the IEEE 802.11b specification. This
product allows for a high-performance extended range system capability to be employed for supporting a
mobile wireless client unit communicating back to an Access Point/Bridge unit at a fixed site station, or
to allow for extended wireless communications between point-to-point, or point-to-multipoint Access
Point/Bridge fixed sites. The fixed site WLAN amplified system provides for a significantly improved
operating range of the wireless network infrastructure.
The amplified WLAN system contains and is authorized for use only with the Cisco Systems Aironet 350
Series Wireless product line that incorporates the Cisco Aironet LMC-350 radio module. This product
line currently includes the following Cisco Aironet 350 Series* products:
