Range of Operatiion

RadioLAN networks provide a radio carrier range of 250 feet with a nominal data range of a 120 feet radius from each station. Your system’s range may be greater than 120 feet depending upon the environment. Within the data range, a station can exchange information at full Ethernet speeds.

For best operation, RadioLAN recommends that you locate all stations within a 120-foot circular area (see Figure 11). This ensures proper operation of the network’s CSMA/CA feature, which overcomes network communication collisions.

Obstructions can decrease the data range: RadioLAN is designed to operate in a semi-open office environment.

Listed below are some obstructions that may reduce your data range:

∙Walls made of a metallic substance

∙Thick concrete walls

∙Walls reinforced with metallic studs

∙Foil-backed insulation installed within walls

∙Desktop objects that surround your RadioLAN transceiver
