The installation procedure is described in the quickstart guide delivered with your gateway (also available in resources). This procedure must be read, the integrity of the gateway, its warranty and its efficiency depend on it.

In order to optimize gateway performances and protection, please refer to application notes in documentation section of resources.

Here are the key factors of a good installation (it does not prevent you from reading the “LoRaWAN gateways installation recommendations” application note), 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.
• Before inserting the USIM card, pay attention that the Wirnet iFemtoCell-Evolution is unpowered by checking that all LEDs are OFF.
• 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.
