Radio Antenna
The Snap-On Diversity antenna comes standard with the
PC3500 and provides omni-directional coverage.
A benefit of diversity system is improved coverage. At the
edges of the RF coverage or fringe areas, there are very often
multiple signals reaching the receiver, all from the same
transmitter. These signals travel in different paths (multipath)
and are caused by reflection and shadows of the RF signals.
When the signals combine, the receiver may have trouble
decoding the data. The Aironet radio’s ability to switch and
sample between these antennas allows it to select the optimum
antenna for receiving the packet.
Optional antennas are offered for the PC3500. Consult the
Aironet Antenna Guide document number 710-003725 for
more information.
Security Features
The Aironet PC3500 employs Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum Technology, previously developed for military “anti-
jamming” and “low probability of intercept” radio systems.
The Aironet Access Point must be set to the same Service Set
Identifier (SSID) as all other Aironet devices on the wireless
infrastructure. Units with a different SSID will not be able to
directly communicate with each other.
