Tip 2: Obstructions
Antennas should be mounted to avoid signal obstruction from rock, vehicles, equipment and
machinery as shown in Figure 6: Antenna mounting to avoid obstructions.
Figure 6: Antenna mounting to avoid obstructions Tip 3: RF Field Overlap
Multiple antennas should be mounted to avoid crossing signal paths as shown in Figure 7: Antenna
directivity.
Figure 7: Antenna directivity
The positioning of the antennas is crucial when Wi-Fi tags are used for asset tracking and location
services. Wi-Fi tags will not be read when there are antenna standing wave nulls. Antennas need to
be positioned to have best reception of tag messages. For Antenna mounting options, see Antenna

4.6 Determining distance between AXON Air modules
Line of Sight Distances
In line of sight, each AXON Air has a maximum wireless range of 300 metres (984 feet) using high
gain directional antennas. AXON Air units are generally installed with a 100 metre (328 feet) overlap
of the radio field as shown in Figure 8: Wireless channel layout and distances around curves
