AP orientation

Has anyone has had any trouble/experience to share on regards of the orientation of the APs?. i.e.: motorola recommends that on towers that are separated by less than 5 miles, APs that are facing each other should be sync and have the same frequencies. Any experiences?

Sync is the magic sauce that makes it all work.

Without it you will have self Interference.

5.7 - 5 miles
2.5 - 8 miles
900 - 10 miles

Outside these ranges, the signal should be below the Rx threshold of the AP.

Thanks for your response Jerry. How about frequencies? Lets say I have a tower with an AP pointing north, a few miles north of this tower, I have another tower with an AP pointing south. Do they really need to have the same freq. as motorola recommends? I understand the manual says it does, but what is your or anybody elses experience on this subject?

Highly recommended to follow the manual on this. It’s tried an true.

Experiment at your own pain and misery!!!

Ha Ha… didn’t mean to profit on your suffering. If it makes you feel better I have a few sites where I’m not following that rule and I am starting to suffer the consequences. I will be fixing it tomorrow.

Thanks for your input

Is 5.2 - 5 miles?

If you can flip the AP to an SM and it can even remotely detect the other AP in AP Eval Data you need sync

Gotcha. :wink: Thank you.
