Technical Specifications

Radio Network Speci�ications


• Maximum number of radios in a network:

One Gateway radio and up to 34 Endpoint radios, for a total of 35 radios

If a Repeater is required in the network topology, the maximum number of radios is 15,
including Repeaters

• Maximum number of Repeaters between a Gateway and an Endpoint: 1

• Maximum distance between radios: 1 mile

• Required Noise Margin: The Signal must be at least 20 dB higher than the Noise (Delta)

• Each radio unit must have a unique static IP (internet protocol) address assigned to it.

Radio Installation Speci�ications


• Have a Radio Site Survey performed by a certified Baseline surveyor before ordering or
installing radio equipment.

• Require installation contractors to demonstrate that the installation and radio network
performance meets or exceeds all specifications and site survey results.

High Gain Antenna Installation Speci�ications


• Provide 10 feet of vertical separation from other antennas.

• Polarization matters. All antennas must be polarized the same.

• Install a lightning arrestor and ground appropriately following all manufacturer installation
guidelines and precautions.

• Use LMR400 low loss cables or better.

• Weatherproof all antenna connections.

• Provide strain relief on all connections.

• Use tie wraps to secure cables.
