Mounting Best Practices
The Cloudleaf Gateway should be installed with the following guidelines:
● Each Gateway is designed to cover up to 70,000 square feet of indoor area. For
best coverage and Bluetooth Low-Energy signal strength, space Gateways 200
to 250 ft. from one another.
● Install the Gateways at about 10 ft. above the ground to ensure good reception
● Avoid immediate metal structures next to the Gateway (e.g. metal beam on the
ceiling), which can attenuate signal strength.
● The Gateway needs to be secured on a stable structure, with screws, bolts, zip
ties, or strong adhesives (e.g. 3M VHB).
● Make sure the installation point does not have excess exposure to moisture or
dust.
● Make sure the 3 mounting holes are protected against entry of contaminants.
● If Wi-Fi is used for backhaul, make sure the Gateway is within reasonable
distance from the Wi-Fi access point (to get a stable connection to the network).
Operating Conditions
The Gateway is designed to operate in the following conditions:
▪ Temperature: 0 to 60 C
▪ Humidity: 0 to 95% RH
