Deployment of the Rover
Below are installation tips for the Rover:
•
Ensure that the Rover-X is moored with the white end of the enclosure facing up.
•
The top of the Rover-X must have as good a view of the full sky as possible.
o
Alongside a wall or tall obstruction will cause coverage to suffer.
o
For concealed deployment, the antenna surface must not be obstructed by
metal or wood. Thick amounts of other materials may also cause interference.
•
Rover-X should not be deployed near (less than 1 metre) other transmitters.
