Objective Achievement Steps:

Step 1: Below is the Cisco specifications manual link for an Aeronet Access Point, that includes the minimum receive level for an 802.11n (-75dBm is more received power than -90 dBm), identify the transmit (again using 802.11n output power (here, the greater the positive number, the greater the transmit power), and a list of compatible antennas. Use an antenna gain of 2 dBi (both transmit and receive), with a dipole radiation pattern, and 802.11n frequency range (both 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz). Ignore any transmission line loss. Assume that your system uses a Modulation and Coding Scheme #5 (MCS5) and transmits with an HT20 (4 antennas) at max power for 2.4 GHZ and HT40 (4 antennas) at max power for 5 GHz.

Step 4: Using the stock MIMO antenna (4 antennas) with 2 dBi gain, will all the APs be able to communicate directly? Calculate the receive signal level (RSL) between each of the potential locations. Create another table showing the RSL between each of the stations. Compare the RSL values with the minimum required power levels shown in the data sheet for each of the frequency ranges.
