Abstract

The paper analyses the performance of wireless networks working over unlicensed frequency ranges, making use of diversity transmission systems, as an effective means to increase outdoor coverage capabilities in rural scenarios. To this purpose, a network has been designed and realized, providing coverage to a wide rural area in the hills of Piedmont, a region located in North-Western Italy. Once constructed, the network performance has been monitored and characterized, in terms of coverage capabilities, signal quality, and noise immunity.
