4. Installation recommendation
Access Station Micro has been developed for indoor and outdoor operation.
For temporary location, the base station is perfectly stable sitting on a table, a desk
or a shelf. For permanent installation, we recommend using the mounting kits for
long-term fixation.
For outdoor operation, the adjunction of sealing cover is mandatory to ensure
waterproofness (see §4.4).
4.1.
Coexistence with another RF equipment
As any radio equipment, Access station micro should be installed with proper
decoupling precaution versus other radio transmitters. Should the quantified
decoupling recommendation listed below be infringed, the access station micro
would enter degraded operation, including coverage reduction.
Decoupling protection is usually expressed in dB, however for practical reasons,
this guide presents decoupling recommendation in terms of physical separation.
Co-location of access station micro on Telco site
or
with third party SRD/ISM
systems operating on the same band is forbidden.
Regardless the type of installation, the base station must be installed away from
obstacles possibly altering the reception, and so that it must not receive more
than -20dBm signals from 0 to 821MHz and from 925MHz to 2.5GHz.
General recommendation for outdoor installation would be to not place the
Access Station Micro in direct line of sight of broadcasting equipment or cellular
station.
For indoor installation, place the station in a different room as other RF
equipment, when possible install the station on a different floor.
Use of cell phones in direct vicinity of the Access Station Micro will not affect
neither its range, nor its quality of service.
In case of third party equipment in close proximity, with line of sight visibility and
horizontal alignment, following physical separation is recommended:
