Equipment Positioning Guidelines

This section provides key guidelines for selecting the optimal installation locations
for the various AU-EZ components.
CAUTION
ONLY experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes
and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities should
install outdoor units and antennas.
Failure to do so may void the product warranty and may expose the end user or Service Provider to
legal and financial liabilities. AlvarionThe Supplier and its resellers or distributors are not liable for
injury, damage or regulation violations associated with the installation of Outdoor Units or antennas.
Select the optimal locations for the equipment using the following guidelines:
The outdoor unit can be either pole or wall mounted. Its location should

enable easy access to the unit for installation and testing.
The higher the placement of the antenna, the better the achievable link

quality.
ODU units should be installed as close as possible to the antenna (to ensure

that the antenna's characteristics are not affected by the ODU the distance
must be higher than 10 cm).
The antenna connected to the ODU unit, should be installed so as to provide

coverage to all Subscriber Units (SUs) within its service area.
NOTE
The recommended minimum distance between any two antennas serving adjacent sectors is 2
meters. The recommended minimum distance between two antennas serving opposite cells
(installed back-to-back) is 5 meters.
The indoor equipment should be installed as close as possible to the location

where the indoor-to-outdoor cable enters the building. The location of the
indoor equipment should take into account its connection to a power outlet
and the networking equipment.
