From these diagrams it can be seen that at each location there is only like kind backhaul modules. In all cases where there is a cluster management module an access point cluster could be placed also. In the case of Example 2, a cluster management module could be placed where the two backhaul timing slaves are located to install an access point cluster; however the timing slaves do not need to be connected to he CMM for timing purposes.
Site Selection Criteria
There are various issues that need to be taken into consideration when choosing a location for the network infrastructure. The following is a list of those considerations. There may be others as each site is unique.
•Height is essential when installing a Canopy backhaul module. The Canopy backhaul module must be mounted higher than other objects located immediately around it such as trees, buildings, tower legs, etc.
•There should be no obstructions that will interfere with the unit’s internal antenna. The area immediately in front of an access point module must be clear of all obstructions.
•Will the installation area change in the future? Will there be structures high enough to
