5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones, WLAN, or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling
fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically
or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless
nodes as possible. The base station transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use.
6. SPs have a shorter range than infrastructure nodes (GWs, MRs) due to the fact that they have
an integrated PCB antenna. When installing your infrastructure nodes, make sure you take
into account the fact that they are placed in such a fashion that they provide enough
coverage for SPs to communicate.
7. Mount the GW or MR in such way that the antenna is in vertical position. It points always to
the ceiling (or floor). This is depicted in Illustration 3.
More information regarding deployment can be found in the remaining chapters of this document.
