General Recommendation for Highly Reliable Radio
Links
1. Maintain the use of Forward Error Correction (FEC) when in challenging radio environments such
as urban areas. FEC is the default option in the R2 Lite radio modem firmware.
2. Use Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) to measure the radio environment before using
GNSS receivers on a job site. RSSI values are available to our end users through our GNSS field
application software, and is an integral part of all GNSS systems. For more sensitive job sites like
airport construction, our customers and professional service team members are trained to use a
spectrum analyzer and other typical radio tools to ensure that the environment is free from radio
signal jamming or interference.
3. Co-operation with the local radio governing authorities to find out the optimum free radio
channel.
4. Avoid using channels nearby local TETRA or television frequencies, which are generally not
recommended for use in this application.
5. Use a repeater in an intermediate position, to extend the length of the link and/or increase the
receive signal level at the rover.
