1.7 Planning the Physical Installation
A network's performance is affected by attributes specific to the installation site.
Consider the following cautions, where possible, to optimize your network
installation:
 Design the network to use less than 2048 radios (per network)
 Place radios within the specified 15 miles of each other
 Add repeater to extend distance or where line of sight is limited
 Radios or antennas CANNOT be placed within 8 inches (20 cm) of where
people will be
Though radio frequency communication is reliable, sometimes its performance
can be affected by intangibles. A good network installation plan includes time
and resources for performance testing and installation changes.
Test the installation plan (page 45) before the network installation is complete.
