Equipment Distance and Orientation
6.2.1
Hub Modules
Locate the Hub Module (HM) with as much distance as possible from other transmitting equipment.
The installer must mount the Beam Steering Antenna on the HM, as it can not be remotely mounted.
The HM must also have clear view of the sky for its Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna (located on
top of the unit) to work and to synchronize transmissions with other HMs.
When mounting the HM, ensure it is oriented so that the cable connectors/connections point downward
and the GPS antenna points upward.
6.2.2
Remote Backhaul Modules
When installing multiple Remote Backhaul Modules (RBMs), the distance required between the RBMs
depends on the average transmit power in use by the RBMs. Contact your supplier for the
recommended distance between RBMs for your particular installation.
When mounting the RBMs, ensure they are oriented so that the power cable connectors point
downward.
