Does the weather affect the F/X Wireless Internet Service?
A. No. The effects of weather on Microwave radio signals vary based on the frequency used and the distance the signal travels. With the frequencies and distances in our network, signal degradation due to heavy rain, snow, or fog are negligible. The degradation due to heavy rain is less than .2 db and our system is designed with at least a 10 db signal fade margin. 6. Q. How large is the antenna used to provide your service? A. One antenna we use within a 2 mile range of an Access Point is approximately 11.5″ tall x 3.5″ wide and weighs less than 1 pound. To F/X out to 10 miles a small elliptical reflector is added that measures approximately 18″x24″. Another antenna option measures approximately 20″ tall and 12″ wide.
