I have deployed the Aironet Wireless LAN between two of our buildings. The
buildings are 300 yards apart. There is a clear line of site. We have
approx 20 users coming across the line for email, file and print services,
internet access and a few client server apps. The 11mbps is half duplex.
The most I have ever seen it deliver is 60% of that theoretical capacity
(Which is consistent with shared Ethernet technology) I am extremely happy
with the Aironet, it is very stable, very easy to setup and the price is
right (Compared to alternate wired solutions). The maximum distance for the
B500 bridge is about 3 miles with a clear line of site. If you want to run
encryption on the line then you can drop the theoretical throughput to
5.5mbps. If you have a lot of radio interference at 2.3 GHZ then this might
not be the best solution. However, you can tweak the frequency and try to
avoid other devices on that frequency.

Subject: Review of Cisco Aironet
Is anyone using/deployed Cisco's WLAN solution (Aironet)? Good Points and
bad ones. Any other WLAN solution advice appreciated (Lucent, Breezecom). Do
you get a true 11Mbs? What's the range of that 11Mbs? Ect, ect. Thanks in
advance.
