The Halo Series Radio is a radio device, so it is susceptible to common causes of
interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to
ensure the best possible performance:
IF IFthere is any other 5.2-5.8 GHz RF device deployed around the outdoor radio, try to
set the channel to a non-overlapping one.
InstallInst the bridge at a height sufficient place where structures, trees, or hills do not
obstruct radio signals to and from the unit. A clear line-of-sight path can guarantee the
performance of the RF link.
S i t e S u r v e y s
Clear and flat areas provide better RF range and data rate, on the contrary, physical
obstructions such as trees, electric tower, hills or buildings can reduce the
performance of RF devices. Do not deploy your radios in a location where there are
any obstacles between antennas.
Configure and verify the 802.11a Halo Series Radio operations first before
you mount the radio in a remote location.
