The Aruba software consistently reports (and expects) RF transmit power as "aggregate or total EIRP", which includes antenna gain, and combines (sums) power from all radio chains.
The 12dBm you see includes all that.
The number of chains used by a client device has no relevance in this, but even a single chain client will benefit from the fact that an AP transmits data from two antennas.
Hi Onno,
Thanks for your interest as always. So now it is clear the Aruba numbers always refers to the aggregate power and consider all the SS.
For the second part, then, if using a 2x2 AP for transmitting, and if you have two identical clients at the same position, but one of them with two antennas and the other with one, will both clients receive the same signal strength?
