If there is any obstacle in the radio path, it may still be a radio link but the quality and the signal strength
will be affected. Ensure the maximum clearance from objects on a path is important to locate the antennas
and the height. For the long distance links, the radio signals might be lost partially due to the non-LOS
issue.
As we setup the radio path for the wireless bridge link, it needs to consider these factors:
 Avoid any partial line-of-sight between the antennas.
 Be aware of trees that may be near the path or obstruct the path.
 Make sure there is enough clearance from buildings and there is no any building or construction
blocking the path.
 Check the land topology between the antennas using topographical maps, aerial photos, or even
satellite image data.
 Avoid a path that may have the temporary blockage due to the moving objects, such as cars, trains,
or aircrafts.
Note: For the wireless link less than 500m, the IEEE 802.11a radio signal will tolerate some
obstacles in the path and may not even require a visual line of sight between the antennas.
