Most of my coverage area is open fields, so there isn't much to making a link work.
I have an increasing demand to install an AP in a small town (no point within town is further than 1/2 mile away from the tower site). I prefer to use 5 GHz due to the amount of spectrum available. An article I read said 1.5 db per meter of foliage or 20 db per tree in 5 GHz. The grain leg is 100 - 150 feet tall. Many houses have TV towers. Radio Mobile (not counting foliage) says the worst signal I can expect to see is in the 60s with most in the 50s or 40s. Safe to assume that most of the town will be good to go? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
