interference in the area?
On a flat open field with no interference a signal can travel up to 1000’. When we start
adding walls, other devices and users, that distance will begin to shrink.
For example, a hotel with two wings each 200 feet long and three floors per wing, made of
rebar reinforced concrete, might need 16 or more meshing access points to provide solid
coverage. Another hotel, constructed of wood but with similar dimensions, may only need 8
meshing access points to provide coverage.
Another example would be a campground that is on an open flat field. To provide complete
coverage however you need to penetrate the aluminum skin of the RVs coaches which
might require meshing access points spaced every 200 feet, so that no RV is more than
100 feet from a unit.
If that hotel happens to be at the end of an airport runway with a radar system nearby or
that campground has a cell tower in the middle of the property then interference from those
devices may require additional units to overcome the interference.
