Site Preparation
Planning the Link Site
Overview
Link site planning consists of a set of surveys, which must be carried out
before any equipment is brought to the site. If for some reason, the out-
come of any of these surveys is negative, site re-location will need to be
considered.
A Site Survey consists of three stages:
1. Preliminary survey - The proposed link is analyzed in the office using a
topographic map.
2. Physical survey - The locations of the indoor and outdoor equipment are
determined on-site.
3. Radio Frequency (RF) survey - It is recommended that the installation
area be scanned with a spectrum analyzer, to identify RF interference so
as to determine a clear channel for radio installation (on-site).
The Site Survey
Introduction
RADWIN wireless links must be planned before installation. The designated
installation site must be appraised to determine that the wireless system is
able to operate efficiently and provide connectivity without signal degrada-
tion.
WinLink™ 1000 offers a wide operating frequency range. A free frequency
channel must be determined within the operating range, for optimum per-
formance.
Recommended Equipment
Stage 1: Preliminary Survey
• Topological map of the area
• Urban map of the area
