15.1. Fresnel calculator

The Fresnel Zone is the space which should be empty of objects in a wireless transmission between two points

to get the maximum throughput and transmission quality. Here you can find a tool in order to calculate when

choosing the right points for your nodes.

Figure: Fresnel calculator plugin

15.2. Iperf

This tool lets you know the real bandwidth between Meshlium and an iperf server. This plugin uses the correct

interface in local networks and uses the default gateway for external networks. The default gateway is 4G/LTE if

connected or Ethernet otherwise.

To use the tool, enter the IP address or the host of the iperf server. Iperf v3 is used so ensure the server is

compatible with that version.
