RF Coverage Estimate for a Site
To provide adequate RF coverage within a facility, you need a median signal level
strong enough for good voice communications.
As a guideline, you can refer to the following tables for general coverage areas,
based on a design goal of 0 dBm output power per carrier, -85 dBm received signal
strength (independent of communications protocol), 5 dB fade margin and 3 dBi
antenna gain.
