Antennas
Figure 7 shows the antennas for the UMTS Band I Radio Node. These antennas have a
thread-on reverse-polarity TNC connector.
Figure 7 Antennas Rotate 90 Degrees
Vertically-polarized, omindirectional antennas are provided. They radiate power in a plane
normal to their length—horizontal radiation from vertically-oriented antennas.
The physical location of the SCRN in a building is not critical because the SCRN operates over
a licensed band. However, coverage area is very important. Place the SCRN units at strategic
points for best coverage.
Tip
To maximize antenna transmission, SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc. recommends
that you should not install the SCRN underneath or inside a metallic
enclosure.
