Site Survey Considerations
Note
In order to beamform to clients using three spatial streams, since three transmitters are used in the
transmissions, the AP needs at least one additional radio to beamform. The AP 3600 has four radios per
band and can beamform to clients using three spatial streams.

To summarize, ClientLink 2.0 takes the received signals heard from the client on the uplink and
calculates how the multipath signal looked from those streams. Then, on the reciprocal side (transmit
downlink), ClientLink 2.0 uses all four radios to figure out the optimal way to form the signal (transmit
beamforming) to enable the client to best decode (receive the signal on the downlink) with the least
amount of retries.

ClientLink 2.0 with an AP 3600 enables beamforming to all 802.11n clients, including 3SS clients, and
can do so for up to 128 clients at a time. The AP 1600 supports fewer clients (32) and does not support
3SS. ClientLink 1.0 supported a maximum of 15 clients at a time. ClientLink 2.0 significantly improves
throughput and coverage up to 60% on the downlink side for much better 802.11n client connectivity
and for enhancing the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) experience.

Site Survey Considerations
While ClientLink dynamically beamforms and helps to maintain a robust signal, which results in fewer
retries, it was not designed to change the cell range. ClientLink creates a better connection experience,
not a larger cell size.

generally the same or very similar to other Cisco access points.
