4 satellites.
90°clearance upward air
Keep the feeder as short as possible to reduce signal loss.(The longer the feeder, the greater the signal
loss will be)
For tower installation, keep the horizontal distance between the mounting pole and the tower at least 30
cm.
GPS antenna should not be installed under the microwave antenna, the high-voltage wire or the TV
transmitting tower. It should not be exposed to the main lobe radiation of the mobile antenna.
Keep antenna lower than the lightning rod and under its protection zone.
When GPS antenna is installed on the top of the building, do not install the antenna in the position
where the two sides of the floor intersect.
GPS feeder requirements:
Length is from 80m to 100m, choose 1/4" feeder

RF feeder
Various feeders can be proposed to adapt to environment and gateway configurations. Typically N-J to
N-J, SYV50-7 (50Ω) with internal screws used.
4G antenna and RF feeder in the standard package can be used directly for demo or test purpose. The
selection of the antenna and RF feeder should depend on the project requirement.
No load at the antenna port for high-power equipment is strictly forbidden, which will void the
warranty and may cause severe damage to RF circuitry.

Selection of Omni-directional antenna or directional antenna can be decided according to the environment.
Below is the common connection.
4.4.1. LoRa Omni-directional Antenna + Feeder
Antenna
White fiberglass epoxy Omni-directional antenna, gain 5dBi, N Female port.
Feeder:
Various feeders can be proposed to adapt to environment and gateway configurations.
Common choice: N-J to N-J, internal screw, SYV50-7 (50Ω).
LoRa antenna and RF feeder in the standard package can be used directly for demo or test purpose. The
selection of the antenna and RF feeder should depend on the site condition and project requirement.

4.4.2. LoRa Directional Antenna + Power Divider(optional) + Feeder
In general, one directional antenna requires one feeder to match; while two directional antennas require a
power divider and three feeders to match.
Power divider: (350-500MHz)/ 400MHz/433MHz/460MHz/ micro-strip 2 way power divider.
Directional antenna: outdoor plate antenna, single polarized directional antenna.
Feeder: N-J to N-J, internal screw, SYV50-7 (50Ω).
Power Divider
Single-polarized Directional Antenna Feeder

The selection of the feeder depends on the distance between gateway and LoRa directional
antenna.
For distance ≤ 2m (including the bend line), use default RF feeder in the package;
For distance > 2m, add 1/2 RF feeder, use 1/2 RF feeder connector to make the RF feeder.
No load at the antenna port for high-power equipment is strictly forbidden, which will void
the warranty and may cause severe damage to RF circuitry.
4.5 Ethernet Port
Ethernet waterproof connector
The Ethernet connector for outdoor gateway is a special waterproof connector. Following these
steps to assemble the Ethernet cable from the gateway to a cable or DSL modern (broadband

6.3 Pole Mounting
Pole mounting installation is same as the wall mounting except that the gateway bracket and antenna
bracket are mounted on the pole.
6.4 Installation Notes
Keep antennas lower than the lightning rod and under the protection zone.
There is a trade-off between installing the antenna as high as possible and keeping the feeder run short
to reduce signal loss. (The longer the feeder, the greater the signal loss will be)
The antenna and feeder shall be wrapped with tape or even grease clay for water protection.
Make sure the Ethernet cable is wrapped with DN 20PVC hose before entering the computer room
Layout of RF coaxial cable shall be firm and clean.
It is important to mount the antenna vertically, while mounting horizontally or at an angle will
significantly degrade performance.
Please make sure mounting location is obstruction-free.
Grounding is recommended for gateway and lightning protector installation.
Waterproof should be considered on site.
Gateway should be installed at a location convenient for personnel maintenance.
