Selecting Locations
Before installing each SkyZhone access point, perform a site survey to determine the optimum
placement of units for maximum range, coverage, and network performance. Each installation is
unique; a thorough examination of the physical environment will enhance performance.
The SkyZhone radio is susceptible to interference which can reduce data rate and range. For
best performance, follow these guidelines:
•
Install the unit in an area where trees, buildings, and large steel structures do not obstruct
radio signals to and from the antenna. Be sure to consider the future tree growth and
construction when considering a site. Direct line-of-sight operation is always best. Antennae
must be kept at least 10 inches away from contact with the general public passing by the
area.
•
Install the units away from other possible sources of 2.4 GHz WLAN interference. These
sources include cordless phones and microwave ovens, as well as other WiFi access points.
•
Install the units, when wall-mounted, onto an area that can accommodate the plastic casing
and lid of 24 inches high and at least 36 inches wide.
