Figure 8: Radio Deployment Options

Identify potential sources of RF interference. Test for possible RF interference on the
roof-top or tower by utilizing appropriate test equipment. RF interference arises from any
other wireless system operating within the same frequency band as the AN-30. Note that
the AN-30 system supports nine different overlapping channels within the 5.8 GHz band
and has the ability to use up to five of these channels at any one cell site; there is,
therefore, some flexibility in addressing or avoiding interference should other
transmitters in relatively close proximity present problems.

Installing The Antenna

Once the site survey has been completed and the exact location for the antenna identified,
the next step is to assemble and mount the radio onto either a building structure, pole or
tower.
Note there is an arrow on the back of the antenna, which must point in the same direction
for both the local and remote systems to ensure proper polarization when the antenna is
deployed (see Figure 7 above). Ensure the proper polarization is used for the antenna
before attaching the mounting bracket in the next step.
The vertical mount bracket is installed first. The antenna and mounting brackets have
been designed to withstand strong winds; it is imperative that all hardware for the
mounting brackets be securely fastened to avoid any movement which could introduce
misalignment.
