andyvirt 0 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Hi Everybody, Is there an official number of maximum wireless users in the same area? I have the number 3 in my head for some reason. We have a customer with 4 wireless Vive Pros, 4 PCs and an unlimited number of Lighthouses (v2). Will this work in the same large room? Many thanks, andyvirt Link to post Share on other sites
HackPerception 221 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 @andyvirt, The official number of supported channels is 3 in most countries. The number of channels and thus the HMD limit in a room is based on government regulations on WiGig technology. In many places, there are 3 govt approved channels. In China, only 2 channels of the ~60Ghz spectrum are approved by the Chinese regulators and thus it's hardware locked to 2 channels/HMDs there. 60ghz is a weak line of sight signal that travels ~6-10m or so in a 150x150fov. You can use something like curtains or dividers to subsection out a room to attempt to double up on a channel. You can also attempt to try and mount two of the receivers on the same channel but mounted directly back to back. This is definitely a more advanced professional setup and quality will be really dependent on what type of materials and surfaces are in your environment as 60ghz is a "bouncy signal" and reflects off walls and floors. Hard to describe. See below. 3 is def the max supported officially, but with some trial and error you may be able to get additional stable units depending on your environmental constraints. We can't help you troubleshoot - when in doubt put a physical barrier like a curtain or a pop up wall or stick to 3. Link to post Share on other sites
