RF Signal Strength and Range

RF Signal Strength and Range

The RF signal strength and range of our products can be effected by a variety of things.

Example
Wood ,glass, etc has minimal impact on RF signal strength.

Cement, human beings, vegetation, will allow the RF signal to pass though but it will be attenuated.

Anything with metal will reflect the RF signal. This includes not only solid metal walls, but metal mesh this will dramatically effect the RF signal strength and range. 

Also the RF signal strength will vary across an area.
