Are transmissions affected by weather?
A. Weather tends to affect many transmission systems including Free Space Optics. However, Canobeam’s Auto Tracking system, which is built into all new models, supports a more focused beam, unlike some competitors which rely on a wider beam. Fog or snow reduces visibility thereby scattering and attenuating the amount of light that passes between the two units. However even if the visibility is impacted as much as 50% by bad weather conditions, the DT-100 Series can transmit correctly.
