When using a wireless bridge for wireless transmission, encountering obstructions is a common and well-addressed problem. Here are some professional recommendations to help those who need to use networking applications effectively cope with this challenge:

1. Understanding the impact of obstructions

The wireless bridge uses microwave for wireless transmission, and the transmission characteristics of microwave are along a straight line, so any obstruction may cause attenuation or complete blockage of the signal. The size, shape, material, and distance from the wireless bridge of the obstruction will affect the transmission quality of the signal.

2. Evaluate the condition of the obstruction

• Observation of the barrier: First, it is necessary to carefully observe the type, height, location, and other information of the barrier in order to develop an appropriate solution.
• Test signal strength: Use a professional network testing tool or the management interface of a wireless bridge to monitor signal strength and understand the specific impact of obstructions on the signal.

3. Solution

3.1 Avoid obstructions

• Erecting monitoring poles or towers: If the obstruction is not too high, consider erecting monitoring poles or towers and installing wireless bridges at a higher location to avoid the obstruction.
• Location of mobile device: If conditions permit, try moving the transmitting or receiving end of the wireless bridge to find a location without obstructions for installation.
• Installing on the top of the barrier: If the barrier is high enough and there is no other obstruction on the top, it is also possible to consider installing the wireless bridge on the top of the barrier.

3.2 Set transfer points

If it is not possible to directly avoid the obstacle, consider setting up a transit point. The transfer point should be located at the apex of the obstruction or on an unobstructed pathway to ensure smooth signal transmission. Then, two devices are added, one of which is used to receive the signal sent from the transmitting end and forward it to another device through a relay point, and the other device sends the signal to the receiving end.

3.3 Removal or modification of obstructions

If the obstruction is a movable or adaptable object, such as a tree, consider removing or trimming the branches and leaves to reduce the obstruction to the signal. However, it should be noted that this method may involve issues of environmental protection and laws and regulations, which need to be handled carefully.
For large buildings or mountains that cannot be removed, the above-mentioned avoidance or transit plans are usually the only options.

3.4 Optimize equipment configuration

When setting up a wireless bridge, it is necessary to ensure the optimization of the device's configuration, including selecting the appropriate channel and adjusting the transmission power, in order to improve the quality and stability of signal transmission.

3.5 Consider using other technologies

If the wireless bridge cannot meet the demand, you can also consider using other wireless transmission technologies, such as COFDM wireless transmission equipment, 3G/4G transmission equipment, etc. These 

4. Precautions

Before implementing any solution, adequate testing and evaluation should be conducted to ensure the effectiveness and feasibility of the solution.
Considering safety and stability, installation and commissioning work should be avoided in severe weather conditions.
Follow relevant laws and regulations and environmental protection requirements to ensure that problems are solved without causing damage to the environment or violating legal regulations.

Facing the problem of obstacles encountered during wireless transmission of wireless bridges, we need to develop appropriate solutions based on specific circumstances and follow relevant technical specifications and legal requirements.
