of the deployment configurations illustrated can provide reach back connectivity to the Internet or other network
by utilizing a Gateway BreadCrumb and available communication link (such as DSL, cable, or satellite modem).
4.5.1 DEPLOYMENT CONFIGURATION – COVERAGE AREA
This section illustrates the placement of BCWL components to provide wireless network connectivity throughout
a chosen coverage area. As illustrated in
Figure 18, the BCWL components are deployed in a diamond pattern.
The distances shown are good starting points if the BCWL components are placed directly on the ground.
Elevating the BCWL components, if possible, will allow for greater distance between the BCWL components,
and greater coverage range for the wireless clients (follow the guidelines detailed in Section 3.4).

Figure 18. Deployment Configuration - Coverage Area
Note the offset placement of the BCWL component at point CT00 in
Figure 18. This offset is optional, but is
shown here to allow for possible placement of a Gateway BreadCrumb near a satellite modem or other
communication link.
4.5.2 DEPLOYMENT CONFIGURATION – REACH AREA
This section illustrates the placement of BCWL components to provide wireless network connectivity reaching
out for an extended distance. As illustrated in
Figure 19, the BCWL components are deployed outward from
RCHPT01 in a straight line. The distances shown in
Figure 19 are good starting points if the BCWL components
are placed directly on the ground. Elevating the BCWL components, if possible, will allow for greater distance
between the BCWL components, and greater coverage range for the wireless clients (follow the guidelines
detailed in Section 3.4).
