Inverse Square Law: Explaining Reduced Data Rate w/ Distance
Quoting from Wiki, bolded section mine: What exactly is going on here with the data rate? Is it just the strength of the signal that is falling off as distance increases? If so, how does that reduce the data rates that can be used? If not, what limits the data rates?- Drakkith
