1 Site Preparation This chapter describes the site requirements for the successful installation of RoamAbout antennas. It also includes brief descriptions of the RoamAbout indoor and outdoor antenna options. This information is intended for sales engineers or site evaluators. The antennas listed in this document are only for use with the RoamAbout Wireless Access Point RBT‐4102 and the Wireless Access Point RBT‐1602. Not all antennas listed in this document can be used by both wireless acce

Determining the Antenna Locations Determining the Antenna Locations The following factors determine the locations where you can place the antennas relative to one another and the distances between them: •Type of antennas. The RoamAbout antennas are described in Antenna Models on page1‐9. •Length of cable connecting the antenna to the AP. • Data rate required. •In a LAN‐to‐LAN network, the distance between the buildings. • Obstructions in the signal path. •In a wireless infrastructure network,

Determining the Antenna Locations Line of Sight The shape of the radio beam, defined as the Fresnel Zone, is widest in the middle. The Fresnel Zone is shown as the gray area between the antennas in Figure1‐1. The exact shape and width of the Fresnel Zone is determined by the distance between the antenna and frequency of the radio signal. The radius of the radio beam, shown as the lower half of the Fresnel Zone, is the distance from the center of the beam outward in any direction. The length

Determining the Antenna Locations Other Factors That Can Reduce Antenna Range Large reflecting surfaces that are parallel or partly perpendicular to the radio signal cause reflections of the radio signal (see Figure1‐3). Examples of reflecting surfaces are buildings with low‐emissivity (low‐e) glass, crowded parking lots, water, moist earth, moist vegetation, and above‐ground power or telephone lines. Because surrounding objects, such as trees, power lines, and other antennas, seriously reduc

Determining the Antenna Locations Additional Location Requirements This section describes other requirements to meet before installing the RoamAbout outdoor antennas. • Lightning Protection A lightning rod must be placed close to the antenna mast or wall bracket. This is required to protect the antenna from direct lightning strikes. •Grounding System Direct earth grounding of the antenna and the Lightning Protector is necessary to protect the installation from lightning and the build‐up of s
