Throughput vs. Path Loss

For products tested using the Azimuth method, you can also use the checkboxes on the Average / Maximum Throughput page to produce throughput vs. path loss plots for up to six products. These plots allow you to see how wireless throughput changes as signal level decreases. An explanation of the Azimuth method can be found here.
