3. General Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when selecting the locations for the indoor unit and the
outdoor units:
• Select an appropriate location for the Outdoor unit and the antenna (not
supplied by BreezeCOM). The antenna should be mounted on a pole and
should be installed where a direct line of sight with the Access Unit/Base
Station antenna can be established.
• The Outdoor unit can be pole- or wall-mounted. Its location should be
selected to allow easy access to the unit for installation and testing. The
antenna and Outdoor unit should be installed near each other.
• The Outdoor unit is designed for operation under outdoors environmental
conditions. However, it is recommended to try to install it in a place where
its exposure to direct sunlight will be minimal.
• The unit is designed to withstand rain and humidity. However, it is not
designed to withstand immersion in water and it should not be installed in a
place where large quantities of water can accumulate.
• The maximum length of the Baseband cable, between the Indoor and the
Outdoor unit, should not exceed 30 meters.
• Select an appropriate location for the Indoor unit. The Indoor unit should be
installed in a place that is as close as possible to the exit point of the cable
connecting it to the Outdoor unit. The selection of location of the Indoor unit
should also take into account the need to connect it to a power outlet and to
the network.
3.1 Antenna Diversity
In applications where no multipath propagation is expected, a single antenna is
sufficient to ensure good performance levels. However, in cases where multipath
propagation exists, BreezeCOM recommends that two antennas be used. This
takes advantage of space diversity capabilities. By using two antennas per unit, the
