About The Wireless Signal Transmission Capacity of Industrial-Grade Routers


Industrial router "wireless signal transmission capacity" is an important indicator because wireless LAN USES wireless microwave band. The biggest feature of microwaves is that they travel almost in straight lines, and their diffracted power is so weak that the wireless receiving devices of industrial-grade routers behind obstacles are blocked by them. So for a wireless microwave signal to travel in a straight line, it has to "penetrate" the barrier to reach the wireless device behind it. The wireless signal of an industrial wireless router that "cuts through" an obstacle will gradually become a weaker signal. 4G wireless router.

For users, the hope is that the wireless signals of industrial-grade wireless routers will at least penetrate the walls and floors inside. There are many kinds of wall materials, such as wooden wall, glass wall, brick wall and concrete wall. Floors are usually reinforced concrete. Each passing through a wall, the wireless reception signals more or less attenuate, and the building structures above attenuate in turn from low to high. Once wireless equipment with low transmitting power, poor receiving sensitivity and insufficient antenna gain is selected, the wireless signal of industrial 4G router will attenuate sharply, the transmission rate will drop rapidly, and even the wireless blind spot will appear at home, and the connection will be broken when the blind spot is encountered.

The transmission power, reception sensitivity (bidirectional), antenna gain, and effective transmission distance of the wireless equipment of industrial 4G router are all directly related to the blocking penetration capacity and connection stability as well as the ultimate actual transmission rate. The whole network router is a key indicator to realize the stable seamless connection of speed.

The ability of a wireless device to penetrate walls usually depends on the following technical indicators:

(1) the maximum transmission power of the wireless LAN device specified in IEEE802.11 is 20dBm (100 milliwatts), and generally the larger product should reach 17dBm.

(2) the current optimal receiving sensitivity is -105db. After passing through a layer of wood, the receiving signal will attenuate by 4dB; After passing through a brick wall, the receiving signal will attenuate 8 ~ 15dB. Through reinforced concrete walls, the attenuation shall be at least 15 ~ 30dB. Transmission sensitivity up to 105dB wireless full network router equipment with strong wall penetration; It is capable of continuously penetrating reinforced concrete walls up to 1.2 meters thick on three sides with a total interval of 30 meters without any relay equipment.

(3) the antenna gain is preferably 3 ~ 5dBi. General wireless LAN equipment has an antenna gain of 2dBi. According to experience, the gain antenna signal of 2dBi industrial router can penetrate two walls. If room is too much, the partition wall that passes is more, had better be equipment is antenna can be disassembled, in order to configure high gain antenna, if change the omnidirectional antenna of 5dBi, try to enhance. Need to point out that the metal object obstacles, not only stop the microwave wireless signal, it can also give absorb electromagnetic energy, generating low current discharge, therefore, industrial LTE wireless router signal in the family environment is one of the biggest obstacles in steel slab, the direction of the signal almost did not penetrate. The industrial network router's antenna is a passive device that does not increase power regardless of the gain of the antenna it does not transmit higher power than the industrial network router itself.
