M-2913 BlueJay Wireless Data Transceiver
The following should be considered when planning a wireless project:
1.
The resonant frequency of the water molecule is within the 2.4 GHz band, which can cause a
reduction in range during rainy weather.
2.
Trees (especially pine trees) can have >80% water content, and as such can be a barrier to
wireless signals. As long as antennas have a direct line of sight, trees should not cause a
problem.
3.
Proximity of the wireless project to cell towers, 2.4 GHz telephones, WiFi access points, or
Bluetooth wireless devices.
If you are experiencing difficulty communicating through the M-2913's, ensure that the antennas are:
•
In direct line of sight with each other.
•
Oriented vertically with respect to earth.
•
Within 1500 Ft.
You may be encountering interference from another source. Some examples of interference are
cell towers, 2.4 GHz telephones, WiFi access points, or Bluetooth wireless devices. If the
interference cannot be compensated for by relocating the antennas or reducing the distance
between them, then other antenna types may be necessary. Please contact Beckwith Electric if
you would like to discuss other antenna options.
