1.0 Introduction
The Vivint SR1530 is an 802.11n/ac beamforming outdoor-rated wireless AP/Wireless
Distribution System (WDS) router is designed for the deployment of advanced IEEE 802.11
wireless services in harsh environments. SR1530 is a POE device.
The SR1530 devices are NOT sold through authorized or non-retail distribution channels. They
are installed and commissioned by professional Vivint Installer / Qualified Network
Administrator. The professional installer ensures that the configuration and operation of AP
complies with local regulations, frequencies, channels and output power.

notification and without incurring any obligation to incorporate such changes or improvements
in products previously sold or shipped.
1.1.1 Data rates
Under ideal deployment conditions (low line of sight, low interference, and low moisture
content), the SR1530 AP can operate over a range of up to 1 km or provide a high-speed
connection of 100 Mbps The range also depends on the type of antenna used. The maximum
data rate for a link decreases as the operating range increases.
When planning a wireless router link, take into account the maximum distance and data rates
for the various antenna options.

1.1.2 Radio Path Planning
The wireless router link requires a “radio line of sight” between the two antennas for optimum
performance.
The concept of radio line of sight involves the area along a link through which the bulk of the
radio signal power travels. This area is known as the first Fresnel Zone of the radio link. For a
radio link, no object (including the ground) must intrude within 60% of the first Fresnel Zone.
The following figure illustrates the concept of a good radio line of sight.
