====== Wirnet™ iFemtoCell installation recommendations ======

Installation of a LoRaWAN gateway shall be carefully prepared in advance to anticipate the future coverage area, QoS and make sure that all needed equipment’s are listed and are available the D-day but also to be sure that the installation is conformed to the Kerlink recommendations : {{ :documentation:an-klk03357_-_lorawan_gateways_installation_recommendations_-_v1.2.pdf | Gateways installation recommendations}}.

The detailed installation procedure is described in the **AN-KLK03357 - LoRaWAN gateways installation recommendations - V1.3.pdf** available from the [[wiki:resources:resources#application_notes| Resources]] page. This procedure must be read, the integrity of the gateway, its warranty and its efficiency depend on it.

Here are the key factors of a good installation (it does not prevent you from reading the "Installation and maintenance manual"), plus a few additional recommendations:\\

  *  Gateway must be mounted on any concrete pedestal, concrete wall or any non-flammable surface (UL94-V0).
  *  The LTE/HSPA/GPRS connection requires a USIM subscription and an optional USB dongle.
  *  Before inserting the USIM card, pay attention that the Wirnet iFemtoCell is unpowered by checking that all LEDs are OFF.
  *  To optimize the colocation between the USB WAN dongle and the external LoRa antenna, a distance of 1m is required between both radiated parts.
  *  It is recommended to use a 1 meter extension cable for LoRa antenna when an USB WAN dongle is used.
  *  Recommended shielding Ethernet cable is category 6A, STP or SSTP.
  *  Before any product installation, a full spectrum analysis should be done on the field with a spectrum analyzer. A backup of each measurement is strongly recommended in case further analysis is required.
  *  Photos of the full installation are also recommended to memorize antennas co-locations and check if the installation is properly done.
