Abstract :
Wireless optical links are being increasingly deployed in a variety of indoor and outdoor applications. While it is known that fog and clouds produce the highest attenuation values on optical waves travelling through the Earth´s atmosphere, it is shown here that other particulates as rain and snow might have a non-negligible effect, depending on the local climatology and on the quality of service requirements.
