Environments with large reflective surfaces include:

Mirrored-glass buildings

Crowded parking lots

Water or moist earth and moist vegetation
■
Above ground power/telephone lines
Weather conditions such as rain or snow usually will not have
much impact on the performance of your WaveACCESS Outdoor
System, provided that you sealed all cable connectors using the
weather-proofing tape.
Seasonal factors that could have an effect on signal propagation
may occur in the following situations:
■
A marginal communications quality in late fall (with no leaves
on trees in the signal path) might fail in the summer.
■
In winter, an antenna link may fail when the antenna is
exposed to ice buildup, or when the antenna elements are
covered with snow.
In these cases consult your supplier to take appropriate steps to
maintain or optimize wireless performance.
