Page 34: Planning Linkage
MIMO 2x2 Wireless Outdoor Access Point System User Manual 7. Planning Linkage 7.1 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. - Page 35 MIMO 2x2 Wireless Outdoor Access Point System User Manual 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.

Page 36: Antenna Height
MIMO 2x2 Wireless Outdoor Access Point System User Manual 7.2.1 Antenna Height The reliable wireless link usually depends on the both sides antennas for a clear radio line of sight. The minimum height is determined by the link distance, obstacles that may be in the path, topology of the terrain, and the curvature of the earth (for links over 2 miles). - Page 37 MIMO 2x2 Wireless Outdoor Access Point System User Manual is at an elevation of 17 m (56 ft), so the antennas link on both sides need to be at least 22.4 m (73 ft) high. The building A is six stories high or 20 m (66 ft), so the mast or pole with 2.4 m (7.9 ft) must be constructed on its roof to meet the required antenna height.
