Re: Re: Wireless PCMCIA Drops Connection



Hi, 

I'm in the mobile telecom business.

We hear this complaint now and again.  It usually is connected to bad a coverage in general.  This may be due to echoes or reflections by tinted glass windows or high concrete-steel buildings.

Sometimes, there may be bad atmospheric circumstances, even large trees in summertime can fool you.  Then, trees carry a lot of leaves, containing water, which absorbe the radiowaves.  Remember we talk about 2 watts max!

I myself have got the same problem at home.  My place is exactly in the middle of two base station transceivers.  In such a case, the only solution is to move your device.  Sometimes a couple of yards (meters) may do the trick.

Good luck

Albert
