Research of Mining High Power 802.11n Access Point

Abstract:

This paper designs and implements an IEEE 802.11n based mining high power access point to improve the disadvantages of low throughput, low communication distance which are met in current mining communication systems. By adding high power design to transmitting and receiving path, this design can get over more than 190Mbps throughput in lab testing, and can achieve more than 2km outdoor communication distance. Test results show that the mining high power access point is more suitable for mining application.
