In years past, a WLAN designer was constrained to use the AP manufacturer's antenna-and for 802.11a WLANs, which operate in the 5-GHz band, only APs with nondetachable antennas could be used. In July 2004, however, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) changed some of its rules regarding...

description In years past, a WLAN designer was constrained to use the AP manufacturer's antenna-and for 802.11a WLANs, which operate in the 5-GHz band, only APs with nondetachable antennas could be used. In July 2004, however, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) changed some of its rules regarding the use of external antennas with APs, giving WLAN installers more flexibility in network design for RF coverage.
