Important Considerations For Wireless Settings; Co-Location Considerations - Cisco FM PONTE-50 Installation And Configuration Manual

• You can change the frequency of each radio link in order to
minimize interference with other wireless networks
operating in the same area. The frequencies shown on the
Frequency (MHz) selector are the carrier frequencies.
5. If Advanced configuration mode was selected, choose the
required channel bandwidth from the Channel Width (MHz)
drop-down. Note that the radio units on both sides of a wireless
link must be set to the same channel width value. A channel
width mismatch will result in degraded communication between
the units.

Co-location considerations

To avoid radio interference caused by unit co-location, set the frequencies
of co-located transceivers as far apart as practically possible.
Before a network is deployed, frequency allocations for every unit-to-unit
link must be planned in advance. A safe method is to use the narrowest
channel width that can realistically support the needed amount of data
throughput whilst separating the individual channels as much as possible.
Even if two radios are not transmitting on the same channel, their side
lobes may still cause them to interfere with each other. It is good practice
to space the radios as far apart as practically possible in the vertical
plane, with a minimum of 3ft/1m and an ideal distance of 5ft/1.5m
between them.
