Aironet's biggest enemy is water. Trees are made up mostly of water, and therefore the signal is unable to penetrate branches or leaves. My only suggestion is to cut them down or put the bridges on top of a tower or find some way to bounce the signal around the trees. Message Posted at: http:/

Yes, the signal go through trees, but you will need to calculate your db losses correctly and take the trees into account. You'll need to ask yourself these questions: How many trees are there? How dense are the trees? etc.etc. Check out this link: http://www.qsl.net/n9zia/wireless/page09.html

What model and antenna are you using? How thick is the vegetation? I setup a building to building wireless link this summer using BR342s on each end, with a Yagi high-gain on one side and a omni high gain on the other. The distance was approximately 400m through approximately 100m of tree can

or a mirror 6' x 6' should do the trick just hang it from the tree you want to bounce the signal around and as the wind blows the mirror will turn to the correct angle. -Patrick >>> "Steven A. Ridder" 01/04/02 11:36AM >>> How does one bounce the signal? With a third access point, like a t

Steven, Coming from a WISP in Southern Cal...Aironet will not go thru trees w/ vegetation. It is true line of sight, trying anything less than LOS will result is some horrific Radio Re-tranmit errors that will play and wreak havoc on the link. (Basically making it an unuseable link...) Message

Technically, it's not really line-of-sight, eh? It's radio waves, not light. It's not a laser solution, for example. But radio waves are reflected, refracted, absorbed, etc. by all sorts of things, especially bio-masses. Priscilla At 03:08 PM 1/7/02, Chris Headings wrote: >Steven, > >Coming f
