Special Considerations
While Airespace 1300s have been engineered for easy installation, there are some guidelines that are
very important to the end users:
•
Do not mount Airespace AP antennas within 1 meter (3 ft) of any metal obstructions. The RF
waves from the Airespace 1300s are blocked and/or reflected by metal objects, such as metal
HVAC ducts, conduit, pipes, elevator shafts, stairwells, and metal walls.
•
Do not mount Airespace 1300s inside buildings.
