What is Wi-Fi "Wi-Fi" is one of wireless networking protocol that allows devices to communicate by using radio waves (without cords or cables). "Wi-Fi is an industry term that represents a type of wireless local area network (WLAN) protocol based on the 802.11 IEEE network standard. "Wi-Fi" is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance, an international association of companies involved with wireless LAN technologies and products. Wi-Fi is the most popular means of today s communicating data wirelessly, within a fixed location. 7/8/2014 3

RF Parameters Received Signal Level RSL (dbm) RSL (dbm) = EIRP transmitter Path Loss + G receiver L C of receiver EIRP (equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power) maximum 36 dbm equivalent of 4 W. (Part 15 of the FCC rule) EIRP = P T (dbm) L C (db) + G t (dbi) P T : L C : Power Transmitted at Antenna Port. (16-30dBm) Losses of RF cable (jumpers). (0.5-1 db) G t : Gain of Transmit Antenna. (0-18 dbi) CPE at clients facilities : Higher Transmit Power Higher antenna gain Better sensitivity levels of received signal No RF cable losses 7/8/2014 27
