Abstract
A wireless network switch device includes wired-network switch circuitry and wireless local-area network (WLAN) radio devices integrated together within a common housing. WLAN antennas that are distributed about the WLAN coverage area can be coupled to antenna ports on the device housing. Channels are assigned to the WLAN radio devices and corresponding antennas in a manner that promotes minimization of signal interference between adjacent WLAN radio devices in the housing as well between adjacent antennas.
