Determine the Maximum Range
3
The maximum range of your WaveACCESS Office Router antenna
system is based on the:
■
Type of Outdoor Antenna Equipment
■
Data Speed of the Wireless Link (see page 3-7).
■
Clearance of the Signal Path (see page 3-9).
NOTE:
The values listed in this section are based upon
calculations that assume “optimal radio conditions”.
They do not represent a guarantee that the same
maximum distance can be achieved at your location.
Different performance figures may result from:
■
Incorrect alignment of antennas (see page 2-17).
■
Sources of interference or unexpected reflections in
the signal path that affect the communications quality
(see “Antenna Placement” on page 2-11).
■
Severe weather conditions such as heavy rain or snow
fall, or strong winds.
■
Seasonal influences such as leaves on trees, or icing
on the antennas.
When selecting equipment for an outdoor antenna link
make sure that your selection will include an extra safety
margin for the maximum range of 100 m (300 ft) or more.
