Page 39: Planning Linkage
AirLive WHB-5854A Wireless Outdoor Bridge 6. Planning Linkage 6.1 Site Survey You need to consider the following operating and environmental conditions when performing a site survey: Data rates – The sensitivity and the radio range are inversely proportional to data rates. Therefore, the maximum radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate, and a decrease in receiver threshold sensitivity occurs as the radio data rate increases. -
