4. If we import all this information into the range calculation
formula, your probable range for High Speed transmissions
would become:
Range= 1.8 Km. (3.4 mi.) x 75% x 65% = 0.8 Km (0.5 mi.)
For campus type environments, this range will probably be
sufficient to connect multiple buildings. However if you would need
to cover a larger distance, you can either:
■ Relocate the WavePOINT-II hardware to a location that allows
you to use a shorter cable length.
■ Increase the height of the antenna on the mast and/or install
taller antenna masts to increase the signal path clearance.
■ Trade-off data speed versus range, and recalculate the ranges
that could be achieved at lower Transmit Rates.
Alternatively, you may decide to perform on-site diagnostic
measurements to validate the results of this calculation. Please
consult the WaveMANAGER/OR User’s Guide for information
about using the Wireless Link Test feature to perform on-site
diagnostic measurements.
