Intelligent Control of Wireless Network
Intelligent RF Management
ImCloud 8260 (R2) provides an automatic power and channel adjustment function. It employs particular RF detection and management algorithms to attain a better RF coverage effect. When the signals of an AP are interfered with by strong external signals, the AP may automatically switch to an appropriate operating channel under the control of the AC to avoid such interference. It also supports the black hole compensation mechanism. which adjust the AP power to cover the blind area resulted by the crashing of some APs
Intelligent control of terminals based on airtime fairness
This function makes sure that both the low-rate and the high-rate clients get relatively the same accessing time, which can avoid the low-rate clients to affect the AP overall performance by taking up too much accessing time.
