InstantWave Product Placement Guidelines

A few tips to mention that are particularly significant in a radio wave communications system:

1.Radio waves reflect or refract from buildings, walls, metal furniture, or other objects. This could result in performance degradation due to the fluctuation of the received signal.

2.Microwave ovens use the 2.45-GHz frequency band. InstantWave also functions in the 2.4 to 2.5-GHz band, and therefore shares some of the band with microwave ovens. This means that when a nearby microwave oven is in use, it may interfere with InstantWave signals, resulting in performance degradation on the wireless network.
