| | What is 802.11B |
 | | However when devices move beyond the optimal range for 11 Mbps operation, or if substantial interference is present, 802.11b devices will transmit at lower speeds, falling back to 5.5, 2, and 1 Mbps. |
 | | With 802.11b WLANs, mobile users can get Ethernet levels of performance, throughput, and availability. |
 | | For example, if the network requirement is for high performance (5.5 Mbps or 11 Mbps) and complete coverage, long range at lower network speeds (1 Mbps and 2 Mbps) may make it difficult to employ a channel reuse pattern while maintaining high performance. |
