Hardware Connection
Site Consideration
• Mounting Height
Ensure a clear line of sight between the wireless devices for
optimum performance. An elevated location is recommended
as obstacles like trees, buildings and large steel structures will
weaken the wireless signal. See ‘Q2’ in ‘FAQ’ for details about how
to calculate the minimum mounting height of the devices.

• Orientation
Install the CPE devices and make sure that they point towards
the devices that will receive the signal. You can orient the devices
with the help of Google Maps, GPS and some landmarks. The
horizontal bandwidth of CPE605/CPE710 is 7°.
