CHAPTER 3: Planning
3.1 - Overview
The general booster installation process follows these steps:
1. Decide where to mount the exterior antenna. This will generally be on the wall or roof of the
building in the location with the strongest signal. You will need to decide whether to use an
omnidirectional antenna mounted vertically or a directional Yagi antenna pointed directly at the
cellular tower (line of sight). You must also consider attaching a grounded lightning protector
between the exterior antenna and the booster.
2. Decide where to mount the interior antenna(s), being sure to take separation requirements into
account. In general, long narrow spaces will benefit most from directional flat-panel antennas while
more square spaces will benefit more from omnidirectional dome antennas.
3. Decide where to mount the booster. This should be in a secure indoor location near a grounded
power source.
4. Decide where to route the cables between the exterior antenna and the booster and between the
booster and interior antennas.
5. Install the antennas as described in their respective Installation Manuals.
6. Route the cables to the booster location.
7. Install the booster as described in this manual.
8. Power on the bo
oster and perform the configuration and testing as described in this manual.
