Intermittent communication, RSSI -70 or higher; Signal not strong enough

Potential Symptoms

  • Spectrum graph reads that the RSSI between the radio's is -70 or higher.
  • Distance between radio's is near or over maximum of 1500 feet.
  • Communication is intermittent, occasionally getting stuck when transferring a message.

Environment

  • Product Family: Message Displays
  • Product: Galaxy, GalaxyPro, GPx, GS6
  • Component: Ethernet Bridge Radio's (EBR)
  • Control System: Venus 1500 v3 or v4, Show Control (Display Studio), Venus Control Suite

Cause

  • The signal strength between the radio's is not strong enough to carry the signal in the environment its currently placed in. 

Resolution

  • Replace the Omni-directional Antenna's with Directional Antenna's.

Note: Directional Antennas are built to increase the distance between the radios. If the issue is interference or improper installation and not a distance issue the directional antennas will not improve signal strength.
