Crops that block the signal
Crops could create a very dense canopy containing a
lot of water, which might block the signal. There are
multiple antenna extension cable lengths available.
Pick the cable that brings the antenna above the
crop canopy to create a free line of sight.
Cable length counts
Cable length reduces the signal strength. There is
a trade off between bringing the antenna high up
and using a long cable length. In case of objects/
terrain/crop canopy use the cable length to create
a free line of sight to the gateway. If you have a
shallow crop and a flat area use a shorter cable.
Always get the most height out of your cable length. Don’t
take the longest cable and roll up the excessive cable.
