Wireless: Will Multiple Tempest base stations have some effect on system range?

Wireless: Will Multiple Tempest base stations have some effect on system range?

Apr 06, 2019

The only limit to the number of base stations that can be linked to share an audio channel is the impact of multiple RF sources in close proximity. As the number of base stations goes up and they begin to compete for RF spectrum, the range will begin to decrease. 
Up to 10 Tempest 2400 base stations (or up 5 Tempest 900 base stations) may be used in simultaneous operation in close proximity to each other with proper antenna placement, under ideal conditions. Closely spaced antennas will cause adverse system performance and will reduce operational range. 
Factors that affect the maximum number of systems that may be collocated in any given location include:
• The existence and extent of harmful interference caused by in-band external radiators.
• Number of base stations.
• Number of beltpacks per base station.
• Whether or not Accu-Sync is being employed.
• Physical location of base station antennas (either on base stations or on remote transceivers).- separate antennas from different Tempest basestations by at least 24" (60cm) the greater the distance the better.
• Physical location of the beltpacks.
• Specific hopping patterns selected.
• Environment (wide open, reflective, through walls…).
