To maximize the distance of transmission, the ideal condition is Line-of-sight (LOS) between the Sigfox sensor and
Base station. In real life, there may be no LOS condition. However, the Sigfox sensor still communicate with Base
station, but the distance will be reduced significantly.
7. Installation
7.1 Locate the good place for Radio signal
ATTENTION:
DO NOT
install the Sigfox sensor or its antenna inside a completed metallic box or housing, because RF signal
can not pass through metallic wall. The housing is made from Non-metallic materials like plastic, glass, wood,
leather, concrete, cement…is acceptable.
