INTRODUCTION
Environmental factors
Window
Attenuation
Fog
Building
Motion
Scintillation Alignment
Range
Obstructions
Low Clouds
Each of these factors can “attenuate” (reduce) the signal.
However, there are ways to mitigate each environmental
factor.
Applications
Metro Area Networks (MAN)
Last Mile Access
Enterprise connectivity
Fiber backup
Backhaul
Service acceleration
Merits
• Flexible network solution over conventional broadband
services.
• Straight forward deployment- no licenses required
• Low initial investment
• Ease of installation
• Re-deployability
• High bit rates and low error rates
Demerits
Fog
Physical obstructions
Scintillation
Solar interference
Scattering
Absorption
Building sway / Seismic activity
