1524 AP Question

[miguel.aravena.rojas]

"Need help to resolve a configuration. AP1524 have 03 and need to linking (4,9-5.8 Ghz) in a straight line, are at a distance of half a mile of each other. The first AP (Rap) is fed with a WLC, it must bind to the second AP (MAP) and the second link to the third AP ((MAP), each serving in the 2.4 users. I doubt whether such a configuration works. In the case of antennas operate ¿What should I use?"

Thanks

When designing and building a wireless mesh network here are a few system characteristics to consider. Some of these apply to the backhaul network design and others to the CAPWAP controller design:

•Recommended backhaul is 24 Mb/s

-24 Mb/s is chosen as the optimal backhaul rate because it aligns with the maximum coverage of the WLAN portion of the client WLAN of the MAP; that is, the distance between MAPs using 24 Mb/s backhaul should allow for seamless WLAN client coverage between the MAPs.

-A lower bit rate might allow a greater distance between mesh access points, but there are likely to be gaps in the WLAN client coverage, and the capacity of the backhaul network is reduced.

-An increased bit rate for the backhaul network either requires more mesh access points or results in a reduced SNR between mesh access points, limiting mesh reliability and interconnection.

-The wireless mesh backhaul bit rate (set on the controller), like the mesh channel, is set by the RAP.
