A clear line-of-sight (LOS) path requires clearance above natural and man-made objects
by at least 60% of the First Fresnel zone. Each antenna should be positioned to provide
maximum clearance in the first Fresnel zone of the direct signal path.
The RDL-3000 also functions under optical line-of-sight (OLOS) conditions; where a
clear straight line path exists between the two end points, but the first Fresnel zone is
not clear of obstacles. If the optical path is completely blocked, it may be possible to
establish a non line-of-sight (NLOS) path using RF signal reflections, such as a common
reflective structure (e.g., office building) that is LOS for the antennas of communicating
units.
