4.2 Create a Bridge Network Environment

The bridge supports external antennas with omni-directional or directional capabilities. Omni-directional antennas are suited for systems requiring a signal distribution in more than one direction. High-gain directional antennas are best suited for longer coverage range in a fixed direction.

Due to the differences in placement and physical environment, every network application has their unique installation. Before installing multiple bridges, you should implement a testing of each site to determine the optimum networking components and to maximize coverage range and network performance.

Think about the operating and environmental conditions of following when implement this testing:

Throughput of Data – Coverage range is inversely proportional to data rates. The maximum radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data throughput.

Antenna type and placement – The coverage range is increasing by the antenna’s height and gain. For this reason, proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing coverage range. The recommended combination of antenna/cable/booster for various ranges is as following:

Physical environment and Obstructions - Open areas provide better coverage range than closed areas. Also, the obstructer such as steel buildings or trees can block or decrease communication between bridges. To avoid this situation, the antennas should be located in where is no or few obstruction between the sending and receiving antennas.
