Cloudport Antenna Orientation

It is important to understand the operation of the antennas to maximize Cloudport's performance. Each
antenna sends and receives radio signal in a circular pattern perpendicular to the antenna as shown below.
If the aircraft to be serviced by Cloudport will be parked in a designated location, focus all three antennas
on that location, with all three antennas parallel to each other and perpendicular to the aircraft as shown
in Figure 4.3.
If the aircraft to be serviced by Cloudport will be parked randomly throughout the hangar, position the three
antennas to cover a wider area as shown in Figure 4.4, with the understanding that this antenna
configuration will result in slower data transfer speeds. In any case, aircraft to be serviced should have a
direct line of sight to Cloudport.
