Appendix B: Using indoor external
antennas

Selecting the appropriate indoor antenna

Use indoor external antennas to cover indoor areas when the following
conditions are met:
• you require coverage on the side of a strong radio barrier where you
cannot place a Base Station
• because of a strong radio barrier, a Base Station cannot provide coverage
in the required area
For example, Gothic Hall requires coverage but is enclosed by a stone wall.
Base Stations cannot be installed inside Gothic hall. Because of the stone wall,
a Base Station installed in either the entry or the lounge will not serve the entire
Gothic Hall. Indoor external antennas should be used in Gothic Hall.
