16 Site Survey Windows and East-West Links Windows • • 4% light reflection from each surface 15% loss from a double pane window Tinted windows increase attenuation Net. Light should be placed at an angle greater than 1 and never more than 45 away from perpendicular to the window. Green, gray, brown and mirror window are not recommended because of very high attenuation East-West links • Errors if 0. 5 sun disk overlaps the Net. Light • Only for a few days a year • Only for a few minutes each day Note: When transmitting trough window it important to notify the customer that From time to time the link can be blocked by the window cleaner elevator
