mentioned hereof.
If it is difficult to find an ideal site, select a place temporarily and install the equipment.
Conduct a test to make sure that the proper performance can be obtained and then fix the
equipment in position. A poor location could result in intermittent reception, which reduces the
time of the position fix and therefore, its accuracy.
1. An open space, which allows uniform reception of satellite signals
2. Far away from any high power transmission antennas
3. Outside radar beams
4. Away from the INMARSAT antenna by not less than 5 meters and outside the
