Frequently Ask Questions – Wireless
What does Line of Sight (LoS) mean?
A clear line of sight (LoS) is one of the most important conditions for creating reliable wireless links. All wireless signals are reduced when they encounter obstructions.
Line of sight (LoS) implies-the ability to see from point A to point B without any obstructions, wireless line-of-sight requires more than being able to easily see from one location to another. Wireless signals travel in waves, not straight lines, which mean that the signal is radiated outwards from the antenna-not linearly.
If you have lots of trees or buildings or a hill between you and the base station, you wont be able to use wireless internet.
Can weather affect the quality of service?
Like any wireless signal, changes to the environment can cause interference, however only severe rain and snow should affect your service.
