In TX mode the Location gateway is transmitting beacons in the direction that is setup. When using the Location
gateway in TX mode it is very important to select the right radiation pattern.
The beam steering allows to control from which direction the gateway will receive/transmit beacons. A typical
example could be enter/leaving detection in a doorway, such items or people can be tracked.
The attenuation can be controlled in the following steps:
TX Attenuation
RX Attenuation
0 dB
0 dB
8 dB
8 dB
16 dB
16 dB
30 dB
38 dB
46 dB
The attenuation will affect the detection range in both TX and RX mode. This setting is very important and very
variable depending on the type of building. We recommend that the user will start out with one of our pre-defined
use cases and customize it to the specific building type. This setting can then be deployed across all units in the
building.
