Re: It's a bad idea
Yes it is non line of site. That is not to say that if your in a bunker that it will get a signal to you, it will not or if the tower is transmitting out and you are in a low spot that the signal might skip over you. The best way to look at it is like a transistor radio if the radio has the antenna up and sitting in the window you should get good reception. If it is in the center of the house or in the basement your signal will degrade. The distances that it will work at are 3-7 miles for fixed WiMax. The ones I have worked on had 4 to 6 T-1's feeding each tower with as many as 3 towers in one area. Not meant to compete with WiFi or DSL but can even be the back haul for WiFi. Keep in mind this is a solution for areas that are stuck with dial up only. |
