The intelligent WLAN optimization concept xml:lang="en"behind LANCOM Active Radio Control (ARC) helps you to sustainably optimize your radio field and proactively avoid sources of interference on the WLAN. Active Radio Control consists of numerous complementary functions in the LANCOM operating system LCOS, which combine to significantly improve the performance of your WLAN. All of the features in Active Radio Control are included for free in the LANCOM operating system LCOS and they are easy to operate with the appropriate management tools.
- RF optimization
- Automatic selection of optimum WLAN channels: WLAN clients benefit from improved throughput thanks to reduced channel overlap. In controller-based WLAN installations, the optimal channels are selected automatically for managed access points. For more information about RF optimization, see the relevant section RF optimization.
- Band steering
- Make optimal use of your WLAN's bandwidth: Automatically controlled by the access point, clients steered to the 5-GHz frequency band can effectively double the WLAN performance because only here are sufficient channels available for channel bundling. For more information about band steering, see the relevant section WLAN band steering.
- Adaptive noise immunity
- Better WLAN throughput thanks to immunity to interfering signals: WLAN clients benefit from significantly improved data throughput thanks to interference-free signal coverage. Enabling the adaptive noice immunity allows an access point to block out interfering signals and to focus exclusively on WLAN clients with sufficient signal strength. For more information about adaptive noise immunity, see the relevant section Adaptive noise immunity for reducing interference on the WLAN.
- Spectral scan
- Check your WLAN radio spectrum for sources of interference: With LANCOM Spectral Scan, you have a professional tool for efficient WLAN troubleshooting. A scan of the entire radio spectrum identifies sources of interference from outside the WLAN and allows a graphical representation. For more information about spectral scanning, see the relevant section Spectral scan.
