RE: Real world 802.11x distances

["Stuart McMillan" <stuartmc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dean,

I'm using a 3COM 802.11g AP at home and the signal will go through a couple
of floors, the lower one being concrete but is very weak in the basement,
another concrete floor separating it. Have been looking to try MIMO devices
to see it these can improve signal strength. They include up to 7 antennas
and are supposed to be able to get around obstructions, info here

I'm trying to ascertain what real world experiences people have of 802.11x
wireless reception and distances.

I'm currently a b users and find a couple of stud walls and a breeze wall
are enough to almost kill a wireless signal.

i've been told that g goes further ? - is this correct ?

I've been having sneek peaks at a broadband enabled alarm panel - inbuilt
webserver, 802.11g camera ready - event recording, X10 interface etc. etc.
-
looks very interesting and could be a great move forward in the security
world.  My real concern is the distance g will work at in a real world
environment.

We do a lot of houses with concrete mid floors, and i've been pretty
convinced that wireless will not penetrate these.

Does anyone have experience of going through concrete floors ? and if so
how
successful is it.





Dean.
