Installing Sensor Tags in Network Closets
For best read range, mount sensor tags at least five (5) feet from the floor and so they are not shrouded by metal, i.e., do
not install sensor tags inside equipment racks, such as half-way from front to back or on enterprise computing equipment
within the racks.
