APPENDIX F
The range of the Wireless signal is related to the Transmit Rate of the Wireless
communication. Communications at lower Transmit range may travel longer
distances.
NOTE: The range values listed in Table F-4 are typical distances as
measured at the TOSHIBA Wireless LAN laboratories. These values
provide rule-of-thumb guides. They may vary according to the actual
radio conditions at the location where the Wireless LAN product is
installed.
◆ The range of your Wireless devices can be affected when the antennas are
placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials.
◆ Range is also affected by obstacles in the signal path of the radio that may
either absorb or reflect the radio signal.
Table F-4 lists the typical ranges when used indoors in office environments such as
the following:
◆ In Open Office environments, where antennas can see each other, i.e. there are
no physical obstructions between them.
◆ In Semi-open Office environments, where work space is divided by shoulder-
height, hollow wall elements; antennas are at desktop level.
◆ In Closed Office environments, work space is separated by floor-to-ceiling
solid walls.
