How to improve the transmission distance of industrial routers?

The main function of industrial routers is to transmit data. The transmission distance of industrial routers determines the performance of its products. In daily use of industrial routers, it should be used reasonably to maximize the transmission distance. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the relevant factors that affect the transmission distance of industrial routers.

When purchasing an industrial router, general users will pay attention to the transmission distance of the industrial router. They mistakenly believe that the transmission distance of the industrial router can receive signals as long as the transmission distance is within the specified range. However, this is a big misunderstanding because industrial routers are different. The transmission power and the presence of obstacles between the receiving end will affect the final transmission distance.

The transmission distance given on the industrial router description is the farthest distance under ideal conditions. This condition excludes all kinds of interferences around. However, in actual use, this situation is difficult to achieve. Part of it depends on the transmit power of the router, and the other part depends on the number of obstacles between it and the receiving end. These are the two major factors that affect the final transmission distance of industrial routers.

According to the IEEE802.11 standard, the maximum distance that a general industrial router can cover is usually 100 meters to 300 meters, but the coverage range should mainly depend on whether the environment is open or not; if it is a semi-open space, or an area with isolation , The transmission distance will be reduced accordingly.

Therefore, it needs to be applied according to the needs of users. Therefore, after testing, we found that when there are buildings, objects, and signal interference, the effective distance will be reduced and the network speed will be unstable, and there are many factors such as voltage instability and electromagnetic interference among these reasons. Of course, there are also high-end routers with stable transmission and long distance.

Regarding the transmission distance of industrial routers, we must judge according to the actual usage. If there are multiple obstacles in the middle and there are gaps in the transmission of collected data, the transmission distance will be longer than that in a relatively open place. Great attenuation. These issues should be fully considered when placing industrial routers, and the most suitable location should be selected to achieve the longest transmission distance.
