• RP-SMA Connectors arrived
• Tips from Jeremy Garcia
  • Typical RF Cell edge of a data WLAN is defined as -75 dBm
  • Cell edge means edge before you need another access point (AP) to match edges
    • Max range of the XBee should occur at -75 dBm
  • XBee Operating frequency band: 2.4 GHz
    • There is about 5-7 bands in 2.4, meaning if there is more than 5-7 things in the area that runs on that frequency, there will be “collisions” or mixed signals which will automatically drop packets
  • Avoid kitchens and metal
  • Preferred range: line of sight

• N/A

• Solder on RP-SMA connectors next week
