Site Preparation Guide

Overview

This guide describes the site requirements that are needed for the successful installation of RoamAbout Outdoor Antennas. It is intended for sales engineers or site evaluators.

The outdoor antenna uses RF antenna technology, which lets you extend your LAN from building to building. Use the RoamAbout outdoor antenna as a solution when connecting buildings across distances as an alternative to costly T1 leased lines.

Before you start the installation process, ensure that all the requirements described here are met.

NOTE
