– In a highly reflective environment: use antennas with circular polarization. This will
avoid polarization losses. You can also combine circularly and vertically polarized
antennas.
– If you operate several wireless paths directly next to one another in parallel, you can
alternately align directional antennas horizontally and vertically. The signals of the
various wireless paths will therefore be decoupled.
