Cell sector width may be 60º, 90º, or 120º depending on the antenna chosen.

Distance between base station and subscriber site depends on the frequency 
band, line-of-sight, and local conditions. Consult Aperto Networks Customer 
Service for more details.

B. Make sure that the base station site includes a proper mounting structure for the 

radios and antennas, an indoor location for the Base Station Unit and a good path 
to run coax cable to connect the BSU to the BSR. Aperto Networks’ Customer 
Service can provide training and assistance if needed.

C. Make sure all subscriber sites have an appropriate radio/antenna support or 

mounting location.
