Re: Signs of foliage causing dropouts of signal?
Of course foliage will affect Ghz frequency RF signals! But many WISPs are doing short range 2.4Ghz links through foliage. See this recent thread I started (
»WISP and foliage ) and search for many old threads in this forum.
Based on many differing opinions, you could be more successful using good quality CPE with a medium gain (14-17dBi) panel antenna. That is what I am doing at this moment with a 500 meter test link - I started with -65dBm signal in early April which has fallen to -72dBm now. I expect it to go down to -78dBm by mid-May but my radio has -86dBm sensitivity at 11Mbps. |
