Coverage Options
The system architecture options of the PC3500 station and
Access Points provide for a variety of coverage alternatives and
flexibility. The system can be designed to provide a wide
coverage area with minimal overlap (Figure 1.6) or coverage
with heavy overlap (Figure 1.7). This improves system
performance and protection against downtime in the event of a
component failure.
Figure 1.6 - Minimal Overlap Coverage Option
By arranging the Access Points so the overlap in coverage area
is minimized, a large area can be covered with minimal system
cost. The total bandwidth available to each mobile station will
depend on the amount of data each mobile station desires to
transfer and the number of stations located in each cell.
Seamless roaming is supported as a mobile station moves in
and out of range of each Access Point, thereby maintaining a
constant connection to the wired LAN. Each Access Point
(and PC3500) must be configured with the same Service Set
Identifier (SSID) in order to provide the roaming capability.
