Wi-Fi Signal Reflection
When establishing a location for your Quantum
Radar, that will be connected using a Wi-Fi connection, it is important
to consider the effects your surroundings can have on the Wi-Fi signal.
The Wi-Fi signal will reflect or ‘bounce’ off nearby objects which
may create an easier path for the signal to take, whilst your connection
may appear reliable it may quickly degrade when you take your vessel
out into open water.
Figure 1. Example
In this example the Wi-Fi signal is bounced off a nearby vessel and back through the windows on the bridge, this provides an easier path than passing through the metal roof.
In this example the Wi-Fi signal is reduced when passing through the metal roof. This, however may be the only path the signal can take when out in open water.
