Bridge Link Planning
The SMC Dual-band Outdoor Access Point / Bridge supports
fixed point-to-point or point-to-multipoint wireless links. A single
link between two points can be used to connect a remote site to
larger core network. Multiple bridge links can provide a way to
connect widespread Ethernet LANs.
For each link in a wireless bridge network to be reliable and
provide optimum performance, some careful site planning is
required. This chapter provides guidance and information for
planning your wireless bridge links.
Note:
The planning and installation of the wireless bridge requires
professional personnel that are trained in the installation of radio
transmitting equipment. The user is responsible for compliance
with local regulations concerning items such as antenna power,
use of lightning arrestors, grounding, and radio mast or tower
construction. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a
professional contractor knowledgeable in local radio regulations
prior to equipment installation.
Radio Path Planning
Although the wireless bridge uses IEEE 802.11a radio
technology, which is capable of reducing the effect of multipath
signals due to obstructions, the wireless bridge link requires a
“radio line-of-sight” between the two antennas for optimum
performance.
The concept of radio line-of-sight involves the area along a radio
link path through which the bulk of the radio signal power travels.
