F. Performance
F1: Will IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor work in the environment where
Bluetooth network is employed?
Yes, IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor can coexist with Bluetooth
environment.
F2: How far is the working range of IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor?
It depends on the data transmission rate and the condition of the
environments. The higher the data rate, the smaller the range it could
cover. At 11 Mbps, the adaptor can go up to 300 meter in an outdoor
environment; however, in an indoor environment, it can only go up to 100
meter. Because of the ceilings, higher RF interference, interior walls and
reflected signals, indoor range is usually shorter than outdoor range.
