AC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS – TRANSMITTER
Transmit power is automatically managed by the device for minimum power consumption. The transmit
power at the RF connector is listed in Table 9 for 802.11a/b/g Modes (all rates).
PERFORMANCE/RANGE
The following table illustrates the typical data rates, performance and range the device is capable of

Ranges are affected by receiver sensitivity, transmit power, free-space path loss, antenna gain, and link
margin. Actual range will vary from those stated. Non-line-of-site applications will result in typical values
less than shown above.
The Data Rate is the supported connection rate for the wireless link; the actual data throughput for the link
will be less than the stated data rates.
