It works like an IDS. Say you have your system set up to allow all users in a specific group access to the network, and then one of those uses doesn't pay. You can remove that user from the allowed users group and then they will get sent to the default vlan that doesn't have any access to the

In my opinion it's better to have too much antenna and turn the Tx power down so that I can get narrower beamwidths. The narrower beamwidths make a big difference in a noisy environments. - Jerry From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Jawad A Hai

He is stating (and I agree) it is better to have greater gain on the antenna then it is more transmit power. Spend more money on your antennas then worrying about tx power. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at

Yes but not necessarily for more EIRP. At 5.8GHz a 23dB panel antenna is ~10deg where a 30dB 2' dish is ~5deg. Since you mentioned you are in a high noise environment, the narrower beamwidth would be preferred. The benefit is that from the Tx side, you are minimizing the amount of spectrum

Yes, and also keep in mind that gain is not always tied to antenna beamwidth. Gain is a function of antenna directivity (which is a good indicator of beamwidth) and antenna efficiency. Parabolic reflectors, for example, have greater directivity, and therefore narrower beamwidths and better
