The current AyrMesh Hubs are not actually designed to provide continuous coverage; the Hubs use the maximum possible power so they can be placed as far apart as possible to maximize the area covered. However, weak WiFi devices (especially some phones and WiFi cameras) have a very limited range, so the coverage appeared “spotty” – indeed, with the Hubs at the minimum of 1 mile to the maximum 2.5 miles apart, the coverage appeared as spots around the Hubs with no signal in between.
The solution for this, of course, is the AyrMesh Cab Hub2 – because it has a high-power radio, it can keep in touch with the stationary Hubs and provide WiFi around your farm equipment or vehicles, so you have continuous coverage as long as you are in or around the vehicle.
However, many smaller farms, especially specialty farms, require continuous coverage for workers just walking around the property. The AyrMesh Hub2x2 and AyrMesh Hub2T cannot normally be placed close enough together to enable this, but we can turn down the transmit power so they can be placed half a mile apart (closer if you have trees or other obstructions) to provide that continuous coverage. Reducing the transmit power of the Hubs does not affect the WiFi performance – the range of the Hub generally depends on the capabilities of the “client” device you’re using.
We are also working on “next-generation” products to enable both relatively “dense” close-in network and “sparse” long-distance networks to better serve farms and ranches with more central infrastructure: dairies, market farms, vineyards, nurseries, etc.
