Planning Antenna Location

Factors to consider when planning for the location or placement of the antenna:

•Choose a location with easy access to cable routing to ease the process of connecting the antenna to the modem.

•In vehicle installation, mount the modem antenna on the center of the outside trunk for optimum signal reception.

•In a stationary (building or desk) environment, position the GPS antenna where it has a direct line-of-sight to the sky. In some cases, this can be accomplished by placing the antenna adjacent to a window. In most cases it will require mounting outside of the building.

Planning Cable Layout

Once you have chosen the location of the modem and antenna and before the installation, layout the cables to determine:

•If the cables can reach the modem and antenna.

•If the distance between components is adequate and allows you to make adjustments to receive a better signal. (Please refer to the manufacturer’s installation manual for safe installation of your antenna).
