Multiple Radio Operation
The access point supports 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios using external antennas (see “External Antennas”).
The LAP1522 model supports simultaneous dual-radio operation using a 2.4-GHz 802.11b/g radio and
a 5-GHz 802.11a radio.The 5-GHz radio can operate in either the upper industrial, scientific and medical
(ISM) 5.8-GHz band or the public safety 4.9-GHz band. The 5-GHz radio supports one antenna and is
used for backhaul operations to the controller.
