Installation
Important: Before any permanent installation, make sure all the components are planned and accounted for, as well
as any wiring, cabling, power, mounting, antenna placements, and system access.
Overview
Several things need to be determined as part of installation planning and preparation. There isn’t a specific order
these items need to be resolved. Depending on the specific needs at the site, varying orders of activity may be
employed.
 Perform any required indoor and outdoor signal surveys to understand current signal problems to solve and
to assess candidate donor antenna locations.
 Determine where the NU(s) will be mounted.
o Ensure adequate power source.
o Determine donor signal sources and cabling/routing.
o Ensure access to the Category cable runs, connecting to the CU(s).
 Determine where the CU(s) will be mounted and how coverage is to be distributed.
o Determine if the (included) Mini Panel Antenna will be used or a DAS field, for each CU.
o If coaxial cable and antennas are planned for use then that should be considered at this point.
Note: IBWAVE (or other RF planning tools) designs are not required but are a good way to ensure the best
performance outcomes.
