Summary:High-quality 2.4 GHz wireless LAN over long-range oversea paths was installed using a space diversity technique. The installed network consists of five wireless links, including a long-range 11.3 km link. To lower the adverse affect of fluctuation in the tidal level, two wireless LAN devices with different antenna heights were installed at one side of the longest link. The antenna heights were suitably determined on the basis of link profile and gained data at the deployment of the equipment. The measured performance indicates that the link with space diversity achieves 100% operating rate in a measured period of time, while the link without space diversity achieves an approximately 90% operating rate in the same time. This method effectively improves the quality of conventional wireless LAN systems.
