Malibu Networks AirMAX“ CPE/BTS

Now that you have an overview, let s begin the physical 
installation of CPE and BTS components antenna, ODU 
and Power Injector units, and cabling through the 
remainder of this chapter (steps 1 and 4 in our previous 
overview). 

In Chapter 3 we ll go through all the detailed steps of 
configuration.

The antenna supplied for use with ODUs can be omni-
directional or directional. Positioning of BTS 
omnidirectional antennas is somewhat flexible. However, 
care should be taken to position it where topography or 
buildings do not impede transmission. CPE directional 
antennas require much more care in mounting since they 
must be directed toward the BTS antenna. Generally you 
should always plan for a line of sight position between 
antennas where possible. 

Mount the antenna as high as possible. Antennas should 
be clear of obstructions that may affect performance. 
Ensure that the antenna is mounted so that people will be 
at least 2 meters away during system operation. Pole 
mounting of antennas is preferable to wall mounting. If 
you wall mount the antenna, you must ensure that people 
on the other side of the wall will remain 2 meters from the 
antenna when the system is in operation. You may not co-
locate the antenna with other antennas.
