Over what distance is the wireless effective?

Over what distance is the wireless effective? 

The most common question we get asked is ‘ how far can the wireless go’. The unhelpful answer to this question is ‘it depends’. The main factor that will influence how far they can go is whether you have a direct ‘line of sight’ to the transmitter at the other end of the link. If you have a good line of sight the standard transmitters should be able to achieve 2km or more.

• If you don’t have a line of sight between transmitters, the wireless will still work but it will be over a much shorter distance.
• If the distance between transmitters is under 100 metres then in our experience it doesn’t matter what is in the way; the wireless will connect.
• If the relevant distance is between 100 metres and 500 metres, and there are say, shed rooves or similar in the way, then there is a high likelihood it will still connect; the only real way to prove it is to try it and see.
• If line of sight and connection is a challenge, it is possible to “dog-leg” the signal off an additional transmitter or use 2 pairs of transmitters and create the link in two separate hops.
