Deployment notes

This is an additional easy-to-use MIMO antenna with a low-profile form factor and simple mounting.
This model is manufactured by Mobile Mark and showed solid RF performance in our testing. With a
square form factor of 146 mm x 146 mm x 18 mm, the antenna cabling is built into the antenna and
can be sized to order (typically lead time from the manufacturer is 2 weeks).
