1.3. Data Communication Link Examples
l Example 1 - Point-to-Point Gateway to Endpoint (on page 14)
l Example 2 - Gateway Repeater Endpoint (on page 14)
l Example 3 - Two Repeaters (on page 14)
l Example 4 - Multiple Radios (on page 15)
l Example 5 - Point-to-MultiPoint (on page 16)
l Example 6 - Point-to-MultiPoint with a Repeater Site (on page 16)
1.3.1. Example 1 - Point-to-Point Gateway to Endpoint
The versatility of FreeWave radios allows data links to be established using a variety of different
configurations.
This example shows the most common and straight forward link; a Master communicating to a
Slave in a Point-to-Point link.

1.3.2. Example 2 - Gateway Repeater Endpoint
This example shows a link using a Repeater.
l The Repeater may be located on a hilltop or other elevated structure enhancing the link
from the Master to the Slave.
l In this configuration, it may be desirable to use an external Omni directional antenna at the
Repeater.
l A Yagi antenna may be used at both the Master and Slave radios.
Note: Adding Repeaters to a network cuts the network throughput by 50%.

1.3.3. Example 3 - Two Repeaters
This example shows a link with two Repeaters between the Master and Slave.
