I have an xr9 access point (ap) and xr9 mobile station.
From reading the forums I thought 900 mhz was my answer
to delivering data through the trees.
However, I found out yesterday that my system will not go thru
the trees at all. Attaching picture. The red circles indicate the failures
from a satelite view of the property. I should have taken a picture
of how thick it was in there, but I didn't think about using my phone
to capture it. However, it was covered with vines, poison ivy, undergrowth
with small and tall trees in full bloom for the spring. You couldn't see any daylight
thru the brush back to the AP. The good news is my GPS said the furtherest failure point
in the brush was .2 miles (~1056 ft) with most points being .16 miles from where I was at to the AP antenna.
Some info:
AP has 6dBi 900 Omni Pacwireless (vpol)
Station has 7dBi 900 Mobile Omni Pacwireless (vpol)
When I entered the woods, all connectivity was lost. It remained that way
until I came out the other side.
Is there any fine tuning that can be done to accomplish my goal? Any thoughts would be
appreciated.
Sorry bmp to jpg conversion lost some quality in the pic.
Thx
