Antenna alignment

To obtain maximal system performance antennas must be precisely aligned one

towards another according to LOS requirements. General recommendations for

antenna alignment are the following:

• Align antennas using optical equipment (binoculars, spyglass)

accompanied by mobile phone actions coordination

• Use GPS receiver and area map

• Use build-in InfiNet Wireless Device features. These features allow

evaluating current channel/signal quality and perform precise antenna

alignment

Omni-directional and sector antennas have a wide radiation diagram width, thus

usually they either do not require a very precise alignment or it is just not

necessary due to radio link requirements.

Antenna polarization must be taken into consideration while installation. In most

cases omni-directional and sector antennas have a vertical polarization.

Directional antennas can be installed either with vertical or horizontal

polarization. Please check a corresponding labeling on the antenna and address

to the antenna technical documentation.

Precaution measures

Before you start the installation please read this section very carefully.

Antennas are installed on the roof tops or on the building walls. This work must

be accomplished only by personnel having special skills and experience in this

area.
