2.2. Assessment of the production environment
The exact observation and assessment of the production environment is the basic requirement to
ensure an ideal transmission.
» Which buildings and structures are located
in the surrounding area?
Radio signals are electromagnetic waves.
When these waves encounter an obstacle,
they will be reflected, attenuated or even
completely absorbed due to their physical
properties.
In general: The lower the frequency, the
better the penetration. The higher the
frequency, the worse the penetration.
» Which negative consequences result from
this?
Especially objects or structures made of
steel or metal can stop radio waves. This
also includes fences made of wire, steel
reinforcement in the masonry or metal
coated window panes.
Leaves from trees or bushes or rain or snow
as well lead to the attenuation or absorption
of the signal.
» Which positive effects does the
surrounding have for the transmission?
Smooth surfaces of buildings made of
masonry or reinforced concrete can be
used as reflection surfaces, in favor of the
transmission quality and range.
