Planning
2.1 Network & Site Planning
When installing multiple Neutrino eNodeBs (eNBs) in the same general location, for example
to cover an entire floor of a building, you will need to perform network and site planning to
ensure that all target areas are properly covered for wireless service. Radio Frequency (RF)
performance can be diminished by numerous factors, including interference from other eNBs
and other radiating devices, and the existence of walls or other obstructions.
You need to consider the density of users and the required capacity to meet their needs. The
selected frequency, power, and other settings also affect RF performance. For these reasons,
you should perform a site survey and plan the distance between eNBs. A site survey may be
ad hoc, or you may wish to use a third-party site survey and RF planning application, or you
can hire professionals to complete the planning.
Other types of network planning involve IP addressing; the selection of unique network and
cell site identifiers that are used when configuring LTE networks; and for each installation site,
the availability of a power source as well as proximity to the local gateway equipment.
2.2 Mounting Options
The Baicells Neutrino-224 eNB was designed for easy deployment. The unit can sit on a
desktop or be installed on a ceiling or a wall.
Before placing or installing the eNB at its final location, Baicells recommends that you connect
power to the unit in order to verify the status of the PWR LED indicator. How to do this is
explained in
section 3 .
2.3 Client Computer Requirements
Table 2-1 describes the client computer requirements for accessing the Neutrino eNB GUI app.
As part of the initial installation of the eNB, typically you will need to use an Ethernet cable to
connect the local computer to the eNB LAN port.
