The WAP 800 provides great performance in high interference environments. It leverages antenna arrays to control the direction and shape of the radiation pattern - steering and forming the beam to provide an optimal radiation pattern focused in the direction of communication. With multiple antennas, it provides up to four times more gain in downlink transmit and eight times more gain in uplink receive compared to a single antenna system. In addition, use of smart antenna algorithms enhances the coverage and capacity of the WAP 800. The WAP 800 utilizes eight receive antennas which provide superior uplink budgets that enable user data rates similar to that of cable broadband rates.
