4 – Installation
4.1 Preparing for installation
The following are general considerations and preparations that should
be looked at before installing the SpotCell.
4.1.1 Signal Strength
The SpotCell system brings signals from an area of adequate coverage to
an area with poor or non-existent coverage. It is the DU which captures
a good signal, and the CU that provides the signal to the area with poor
cell phone coverage. The DU can be mounted inside or outside, as long
as it is in an area where your cell phone works. Generally, the better your
cell phone works at the location the DU is mounted, the better the
system will perform.
4.1.2 DU Height
In fringe areas, locating the DU as high as possible will provide optimal
performance.
