There might be cases where it exceeds the limitations, and it is the responsibility of the installing parties to verify that the installation is within the laws of the location in which it is installed. Note: This calculation utility has been edited to stay within limitations for TX power and Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) under the listed regulatory domains. Range CalculationsĬomplete these steps to use the Outdoor Bridge Range Calculation Utility: Use these values only as guidelines to deploy wireless bridges. Note: The values that the tool provides are only theoretical. This utility also helps you decide on the type of antenna that you must use in order to cover the distance between the bridges. In a wireless environment without a tool like this, you cannot predict the distance between the bridges, the height at which you must place the antennas for maximum throughput, and other variables. You can avoid connectivity problems with the Outdoor Bridge Calculation Utility, as this tool helps you to predict the distance between devices. The Outdoor Bridge Range Calculation Utility uses parameters that include regulatory domain, device type, data rate, antenna gain, and a few others as inputs. This ensures higher throughput and consistent bridge performance. Cisco strongly advises you to use this utility as a part of the site survey to calculate the range parameters, before you deploy the bridges. The Cisco Outdoor Bridge Range Calculation Utility is the best tool to calculate the Fresnel zone, the distance between bridges, cable loss, required antenna height and the recommended fade margin.
