Wialan Technologies Inc (WLAN)

[retiredanalyst]

Page 2 of this Cisco piece totally shoots down Wialan's own premise that an access point with a powerful transmitter and high gain antenna's is somehow better. The facts are the transmit range of Wialan's access point is meaningless if the client radios connected to the WLAN don't have the transmit power to send packets of info back to the access point. On page 2, Cisco states why Wialan's hyped up equipment is fundamentally flawed. Yes folks, a good WiFi connection requires a lot more than a powerful access point transmitter. As you increase distance, connected devices transmit power are the other half of the equation.
