* Note: The number of supported Verizon Wireless devices will vary based on
usage patterns of a location. The usage pattern of a location may itself vary
depending on the time of day or during special events held at the location. It is
advisable that the deployed units be capable of handling the peak traffic to avoid
reaching active user capacity.
GPS signal
The Network Extender requires a sufficient GPS signal (that allows for acquiring a
location fix) in order to operate.
The GPS antenna cable that comes with the Network Extender is 23 feet long.
Therefore, the Network Extender should be placed within 23 feet of a location, so
that a strong GPS signal can be acquired. If this is not practical, then an optional
GPS antenna extension kit can be utilized.
To determine whether a location has a sufficiently strong GPS signal, check the
GPS location can be obtained use a standalone GPS, or mobile device with 3
rd
party GPS test app that shows satellite signal quality. The Network Extender’s
Admin Webpage can also display the number of GPS satellites seen and their
signal quality.
Power
The Network Extender comes equipped with a power supply unit that can be
plugged into a standard US power outlet. The power supply unit has a 1.5m (5
feet) long cable. Therefore, the Network Extender needs to be within range of a
power outlet. If this is not practical then an optional Power Over Ethernet device
may be required, such that the unit can be powered via the Ethernet cable instead
of via the dedicated power port.
Proximity to external walls and windows
When a Network Extender is placed too close to an external wall or window, the
Network Extender can provide large areas of coverage outside of the deployment
area. This may result in reduced capacity, and thus a poorer experience, for users
who are inside the building.
