It is also equally important that the Gateway communicates with the RF devices installed in the dwelling. The number of walls, ceilings and metal objects in the signal path will reduce the strength of the RF signals. Do not mount your Gateway in a steel box or close to large metal objects such as boilers, as this will reduce your cellular network signal strength and will affect RF communication.
