Choosing a location for the Network Access Unit
The Network Access Unit is the outward facing unit. It is the unit that picks up the signal from and
communicates with the service providers base station network.
Positioning the Network Access Unit
The following outlines the procedure for locating a Network Access Unit.
1. Use your mobile phone to identify the inside
location with the strongest received signal
(usually near an outside facing wall). If no
adequate signal is available indoors then it
may be necessary to try an outside location
(such as an outside roof or external wall)
where a stronger signal is received.
2. Position the Network Access Unit (but do not
physically mount it) in the location that showed
the strongest signal.
While not a requirement, it is highly recommended that the Network Access Unit be installed 3 to 4
feet away from the glass when facing a tinted window

3. Position the Coverage Unit (but do not physically mount it) in the area that requires coverage. The
Coverage Unit must also be located at least 15 feet (5 meters) away from the Network Access Unit.
4. Use your mobile phone to note the signal level (number of bars) at the Coverage Unit.
1. Tinted windows may contain metallic particles which can degrade the signal more than
the adjacent exterior wall.
