adapter, sold separately). Each location should be as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area

and should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of interference. These RF absorbers/reflectors/

interference sources will impact RF propagation and should have been accounted for during the planning phase

and adjusted for in RF plan.
