Installation Considerations
Install your small cell:
•
in a central location, in an area where people are most likely to make calls
•
away from windows, to avoid the signal leaking outside or external signals leaking in
•
in an open area with airflow; not in a closed cabinet which reduces the signal strength
•
at least 5 meters (16 feet) from an external wall. This distance maximizes indoor coverage and minimizes RF leakage outside
the building. Refer to the Cisco USC 8000 Series Deployment Planning Guide for Dual-Mode Systems and Cisco USC 8000
Series Deployment Planning Guide for LTE Systems for more information about small cell placement.
If you have thick internal walls, or metal, fire or rotating doors, plan to place units at either side of the obstruction at a distance shorter
than 49 feet (15 m). Install a unit across from a corner to provide coverage on both sides of the corner.
