1
In an open office environment, antennas can "see" each other. There are no physical
obstructions between them.
2
In a semi-open office environment, work space is divided by shoulder-height, hollow
wall elements. Antennas are at desktop level.
3
In a closed office environment, work space is separated by floor-to-ceiling brick walls.
The range of the wireless signal is related to the transmit rate of the wireless
communication. Communications at lower transmit rate may travel larger distances.
Note: The range values listed in the table are typical distances as measured at the IBM
High-Rate Wireless LAN laboratories. These values may vary according to the
actual radio conditions at the location where the High-Rate Wireless LAN product
will be installed.
• The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas are
placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials.
• Range is also impacted due to obstacles in the signal path of the radio that may
either absorb or reflect the radio signal.
