Antenna installation is critical for optimum performance of your Iridium service.
Installation Guidelines
To ensure maximum performance of the antenna system and to maximise availability and reliability of service the
antenna must;
•
mount antenna horizontally (top side facing up)
•
have a clear line of site to the sky
•
be clear and free of obstructions
•
be located away from other transmitting devices
•
be securely attached to a flat ferrous surface
•
be located outdoors
•
be installed with a Beam certified cable
Installing Antenna Cables
When installing antenna cables, follow these guidelines:
•
Route and restrain cables to prevent them from vibrating or moving under normal conditions, which could result in
damage to the antenna or the coaxial cable connections.
•
Wherever the cables contact structures, protect the cables from chafing or abrasion. If a cable needs to be bent, avoid
kinking it, and ensure that each bend radius follow the cable specification limits.
