Antenna Mounting Location
When selecting a location for your antenna, consider the following factors:
Antenna Directionality – the antenna must be installed using either the
Desktop Placement, Window Mount or Wall Mount with cables connected at bottom
of antenna unit.
The antenna will provide a 360-degree radiant pattern, allowing mobile signal
connectivity in all directions.
Signal Loss – signal strength may be affected by structural materials near the
antenna or that obstructs its propagation.
Materials such as brick walls and metal may reduce the mobility signal via
absorption or reflection. For the best signal performance, select an antenna
location with minimal obstructions between antenna and outside of building.
Interference – electrical devices and appliances may cause electromagnetic
interference with antenna signal.
Electronic devices and appliances include computers, refrigerators,
microwaves, AC units and cameras. Select a location as far away as possible
from these types of devices.
Cable Loss – the cable is not removable, and extensions are not recommended as
signal strength is lost over longer distances.
