Figure 86. AP Channel View: Outdoor Layout
7.2.3 AP Link Speed View
This view helps you plan for available downlink connectivity speeds and the choice of wireless Clients that should be used at
various locations on the layout. It displays the maximum downlink data rate that a wireless Client can expect from a
connection. It shows the 802.11 downlink connection speed available at each point on the layout. This view also helps you
plan for minimum link speed at all locations on the current layout.
As linkspeed depends on the client capabilities as well, Planner provides a client selection on the link speed view which helps
you understand the link speeds that you would get with different types of clients. The clients provided in the drop down
represent generic laptops, smart phones as well as low powered devices with different MIMO configurations.
This selected client model is also used in showing the link speed in the signal strength window opened by View Signal
Strength command.
