Prior to installation, develop a checklist that covers all aspects of the installation. A 

well-developed plan identifies potential problems early so that they can be solved timely. 

Choosing a good mounting location for the bridge is important because it affects the reliability 

of the wireless link and maximum data rates the bridge system can achieve. The most 

important considerations are distance between bridges and clearance from obstacles. 

  Signal path distance and clearance 

In an environment without obstacles in the signal path, the maximum distance between 

bridges depends primarily on the type of antennas and the free space loss between them. 

Make sure your proposed mounting site is within range of the remote antenna. 

Another consideration when planning a wireless link is the Fresnel Zone, which occupies a 

series of concentric ellipsoid-shaped areas around the LoS path as below:
