Abstract

Xirrus Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the outdoor coverage area of its IEEE 802.11 a/b/g XS-3900 family of Wi-Fi Arrays when operating in Wireless Distribution System (WDS) mode.

Tolly Group engineers deployed a set of five Xirrus XS-3900 Wi-Fi Arrays to evaluate its WDS mode coverage area in an open field to illustrate real-world outdoor performance. Moreover, engineers tested the connection data rate and performance between a XS-3900 Wi-Fi Array and an end-user station using a standard 802.11 a/b/g wireless card. Tests were conducted in October 2006.
