Quantum Wi-Fi Only Installation Requirements - Raymarine Quantum 2 Installation Instructions Manual

3.9 Quantum Wi-Fi only installation requirements

Whilst the Wi-Fi performance has been tested and proven in many different installation scenarios, the
requirements below must be taken into consideration before choosing a location for the Quantum
™
Radar.
In systems with multiple MFDs, the Radar should be connected to the MFDs that are located closest
to it, or to the MFDs with the clearest line of sight to the Radar.
The maximum distance between MFD and Radar will vary depending on the installation environment
(i.e. obstructions and interference).
Example 1 — Open air, line-of-sight in optimum conditions
In optimum open air, clear line-of-sight conditions a reliable connection is possible at distances up
to 100 m (328 ft). However, there are many factors that can influence this, so a pre-installation site
survey should always be performed. For reliable Wi-Fi performance the signal strength should be
better than –75dBm. The closer the signal is to zero the better the Wi-Fi performance will be (e.g.
–40dBm is better than –75dBm). You can assess the potential signal strength at the desired location
during the Pre-installation Site Survey using a Wi-Fi Analyzer app on your smart device.
