Deployment
Guide
The coverage of the 4G LTE Network Extender will vary, based on a number of
factors, including:
•
The type of building in which it is being deployed (e.g., building materials,
number of walls, floorplans, height of ceilings and the installation height of the
Network Extender)
•
The strength of the existing Verizon 4G LTE signal
In short, the 4G LTE Network Extender coverage radius will vary based the RF
absorption or obstruction characteristics of the environment it is used in.
It is therefore important to know both your building type and the strength of the
existing Verizon 4G LTE coverage before estimating the number of 4G LTE
Network Extenders you will need and where you will place them.
You can estimate the range of a 4G LTE Network Extender by finding the row in
the table below that applies to your building type and 2 bars (or less) of existing
4G LTE coverage.

The 4G LTE Network Extender is designed for use where there is weak 4G LTE
signal. If you regularly observe more than 2 bars of 4G LTE macro coverage
throughout your building, the solution may not be suitable.
