4.3.1 Attach Base Station to Support Pole (if Needed)

Follow the steps below to attach the base station to a support pole. The pole diameter must

be between 1.4 to 2 inches (35 to 50 millimeters).

Pass the 2 U-type clamps through the mounting brackets on both ends of the base

station.

Hold the assembly up to the support pole, and attach the 2 omegas to the threaded

U-shape rods using M8 nuts. Refer to Figure 4-27.

In general, it is best to keep the RF cable length between base station and antenna as short as

possible to minimize signal attenuation. Typically, the base station will be located within a few

feet (meters) from the antenna. Only one antenna may be connected to a single base station.

Operators may use an omnidirectional ("omni") antenna or a directional antenna with the

BaiCells base station. An omni antenna covers a full 360 degrees, while a directional antenna

radiates in a specific direction based on angle (e.g., 45°, 90°, etc).

Note: BaiCells does not manufacture antenna components; please refer to the list of

distributors on the BaiCells website: https://na.baicells.com/where-to-buy/. Make

sure to match the frequency range of the antenna with the base station, and consult

the

regulatory rules

This section explains how to install an omni or directional antenna on an outdoor structure,

e.g., tower or building. Before you install, please review all of this section. Refer either to

section 4.3.2.2 for an omni installation, or to section 4.3.2.3 or 4.2.9.4 for a directional

antenna installation.
