Before deploying your network, you need to plan frequency allocation on each link. A good rule of
thumb is to use the narrowest possible channel that can support the amount of throughput needed and
separate the channels as much as possible. Although two radios are not on the same channel, they can
still interfere with one another because of the side lobes. It is also good practice to space the radios
vertically as far apart as possible one from the other with a minimum of 3ft., ideally 5ft. Mounting
radios back to back or side by side is not a good practice as it may lead to co-location interferences and
will strongly affect the performance of your network.
