What transmit power are people being using on the 1252 2.4 and 5GHz .11n radios? Are you stepping down the power to reduce the increased range effect?
I agree small cells with greater throughput are better, but more robust coverage is also an important consideration, depending on location characteristics. --Bruce Johnson -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lee H Badman Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 3:59 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 11n users To extend Matt's question- how many are using 11n's extended range as a feature? What I mean is that we have most (though not all) of our designs based more on capacity than range. Even though 11n can give better range, not sure how important that will be when we still want less users on APs to preserve higher per-user throughputs. Though in some areas the better range will come into play and provide value, but these (for us) will arguably be in the minority. -Lee -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barber, Matt Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 3:07 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 11n users Anyone running 11n in the 2.4 GHz on the 1252s? 20 or 40MHz? What kind of range from the APs are you seeing?
