Illustration 3 shows antenna and mounting brackets fixed on an aluminum type pole.
General precautions –
• Do not install in winds over 40 Mph.
• Do not install when lightning is closer than 2 miles.
• Do not attempt to install in rain.
3.2.1 Mounting Considerations
Consider the earthquake zone requirements for the given site being considered. Ensure that the
mounting location complies with these considerations.
Review the GPS installation guidelines to ensure that the location will allow proper operation of
the Node B. I.e. a Southern Exposure is required for outside installations and a remote GPS
antenna or GPS repeater will be necessary in areas without a southern exposure or indoors.
