CHAPTER 3  Proper microwave network planning 
 
The Microflex microwave sub-module provides a standard air interface for all Multisite 
products.  It offers a robust and highly reliable spread spectrum wireless link which can 
span 50 kilometers with appropriate installation. 
 
For best operation the network must be properly planned and the antennas must be 
installed in such way as to obtain line-of-sight links.  This chapter provides a 
comprehensive review of network planning and propagation principles. 
 
3.1 RF Planning 
 
Successful operation of a Multisite network lies on the proper installation of the 
wireless interface.  Such installation requires five (5) phases: 
 
1.  Completing the initial network layout 
2. Evaluating the system gain required for each link and selecting the 
appropriate antennas to use 
3.  Verifying the line of sight and Fresnel zone clearance for each link within the 
network 
4.  Carrying out an on-site survey (optional) 
5.  Completing the final system commissioning. 
 
This section presents a step-by-step approach to completing the phases outlined 
above. 
 
3.1.1 Network Planning 
 
A Multisite network can be configured in multiple ways.  
Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8 present some common configurations.  The first 
step is to establish a network plan based on initial area topology and distances 
between each remote station and base.
