Frequently Asked Questions

Wireless Solutions Topic: Wireless Device in Plastic Case

 

FAQ No. FAQ01329

 

Question

Will the radio waves become attenuated if the wireless device and the entire antenna are put into a plastic case?



Answer

The radio waves will be transmitted through the plastic case. They will not be attenuated. Do not, however, apply silver-colored paint to the plastic case. Aluminum powder contained in the paint will make it difficult for the radio waves to travel.

 

Outdoor Installation: The product can be protected from rain and other liquids by using a plastic water-resistant box.
