SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc.

Select the Radio Node Location

Select a location for the radio node. The unit can be installed in a wide range of locations including walls,

ceilings, and plenum spaces. Follow the installation guidelines for choosing appropriate mounting locations

for the unit. When mounting a radio node vertically, align the fins vertically for superior cooling.

Figure 7 Radio Node Locations

Locate radio node units at least 5 meters (16 feet) from an external wall. This distance maximizes indoor

coverage and minimizes RF leakage outside the building.

Use Table 2 to determine the maximum distance between radio node units. Greater separation may affect

coverage or system performance.

Table 2: Recommended Radio Node Separation Distances
