Choosing A Mounting Location - Cisco 4G-ANTM-OM-CM Manual

Cisco Aironet Dual-Band MIMO Wall-Mounted Omnidirectional Antenna (AIR-ANT2544V4M-R)
— Signals penetrate three or four concrete and wood block walls without degrading signal strength.
— Signals penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood without degrading signal strength.
— Signals will likely reflect off a thick metal wall and may not penetrate it at all.
— Signals will likely reflect off a chain link fence or wire mesh spaced between 1 and 1 1/2 in. (2.5 and 3.8 cm). The fence
acts as a harmonic reflector that blocks the signal.

Install the antenna away from microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones. These products can cause signal interference
because they operate in the same frequency range as the device to which your antenna is connected.

Choosing a Mounting Location

The antenna should be mounted clear of any obstructions to the sides of the radiating elements. Generally, the higher an antenna
is above the floor, the better it performs. If possible, find a mounting place directly above your wireless device to ensure the
lead-in cable can be as short as possible.
Installing the Antenna
You can install the antenna on any flat vertical surface, on a pole, or on a ceiling. All hardware for mounting the antenna on a
wall or ceiling is provided. If you intend to install your antenna on another surface, you must provide the appropriate hardware.
