1. INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

1.1 Base Station synopsis

Sigfox base stations operate on reception on a specific frequency bandwidth used by

sigfox terminals. They are also able if necessary to transmit information to do single or

multi-cast back to these terminals.

The base stations include a complete system described in the following synopsis.

The antenna characteristics depend on the operating frequency band and specific site

constraints (gain, height, etc.).

Sigfox will provide the transceiver unit called Sigfox Base Station transceiver (SBS-T)

version 3 and the corresponding antenna low noise switch/amplifier (LNAC or LNA). This

component integrates a low noise amplifier in reception mode and a switch that bypasses

this stage in transmission mode.

This device characteristic depends also on operating frequency bands applicable in the

region.

Sigfox Base Station transceiver (SBS-T) version 3 series are ultra-wide range, high linearity

transceivers units and feature first class performance radio and innovative software

defined processing, for use in Ultra Narrow Band Machine-To-Machine wireless

communication systems.

Base Station transceiver (SBS-T) version 3 can have a pre-set receiver frequency depending

on the radio regulation applicable in the region. This choice is made by a specific software

configuration.
