Chapter 2 - Base Station Installation
A unit with Omni antennas should be installed at the highest of point the pole. This is to ensure that
there is no interference caused by the close proximity of the antenna to other metal objects. Where
this is not possible, the unit should be installed at a distance of at least 1 meter from the pole, using a
horizontal bar.
Generally, the higher the placement of the base station, the better the link quality achievable.
However, the higher the installation the greater the interference from other sources of radiation that
the base station is exposed to. Consider best installation spot that maximizes coverage and minimizes
interference. Typically, the ideal height at which a base station should be installed is at least 3 meters
above the rooftops of the buildings within the coverage zone. Keep the maximum distance possible
from other RF radiating sources, power lines and metal objects.
The minimum vertical separation distance between two base stations is 2 meters. The minimum
horizontal separation distance between two base stations (back-to-back) with sector antennas is 2
meters. For units with Omni antennas he minimum horizontal separation distance between two base
stations (back-to-back) is 10 meters.
