AutoCell AP/Client Interaction

AutoCell's self-organizing micro cells provide performance benefits and an additional level of

privacy for enterprises.

• Automatic Transmit Power Control. An AutoCell-enabled client’s RF transmit power level

is automatically coordinated with an AutoCell-enabled AP. This creates client micro-cells and

reduces co-channel interference with other clients and APs on the same frequency and

improves overall throughput and performance. (Requires: AutoCell-enabled AP)

Problem AutoCell Settings

Erosion of privacy Optional setting allows Wi-Fi network to be nearly

undetectable by neighbors and hackers as well as the

APs. (Auto RF Management -- Default: Enable).

Complexity of installation Customers can put APs anywhere they want and in any

density APs. (Auto RF Management -- Default: Enable)
