After selecting your components (access points, antennas, lightning protec-
tion and cable) the calculator works out the data rates, ranges, and the
antenna gain settings that have to be entered into the access point.
Please note that when using 5 GHz antennas additional technologies
such as dynamic frequency selection (DFS) may be stipulated depen-
ding on the country of use. The operator of the wireless LAN system is
responsible for ensuring that local regulations are met.
Positioning the antennas
Antennas do not broadcast their signals linearly, but within an angle that
depends on the model in question. The spherical expansion of the signal
waves produces amplification or interference of the effective power output at
certain distances along the connection between the transmitter and receiver.
