2.5   Location and Environment 

The Nova846 can be installed on a pole or a wall. For the best signal coverage, place the eNB in 
an unobstructed location. In addition to network planning, when determining where to place the 
eNB, you need to consider the best location for signal coverage. Avoid locating the eNB in areas 
where there may be extreme temperatures, harmful gases, unstable voltages, volatile vibrations, 
loud noises, flames, explosives, or electromagnetic interference (e.g., large radar stations, 
transformer substations). Avoid areas prone to impounded water, soaking, leakage, or 
condensation. Environmental specifications are shown in Table 2-5. 

Table 2-5: Environmental Specifications

2.6   CloudCore Account 

The Baicells CloudCore includes the EPC, managed by Baicells, and two operator applications: the 
OMC, which is used  to manage network elements,  and  the  BOSS, which is used  to manage 
subscribers. If you have not already set up a Baicells CloudCore account, follow the steps below. 

Step 1:  

 

Open a web browser, and enter the CloudCore address (Figure 2-4)
