Distance Between APs
Distance Between APs defines how far apart (physically) your AP devices 
are located, which in turn determines the size of your cell. Cells of 
different sizes have different capacities and, therefore, suit different 
applications. For instance, a typical office has many stations that require 
high bandwidth for complex, high-speed data processing. In contrast, a 
typical warehouse has a few forklifts requiring low bandwidth for simple 
transactions.
NOTE:
This feature is not available if you are using an 
Avaya 802.11a/b Card or a non-Avaya Wireless client with the AP.
Cell capacities are compared in the following table, which shows that 
small cells suit most offices and large cells suit most warehouses:
