Outdoor Base Station Mounting Instruction
Introduction
For outdoor and campus applications, standard (indoor) DCT1900 Base Stations are mounted in
the weatherproof fiberglass housing. This industry recognized (NEMA, UL, IEC, CSA) housing is
designed for pole or wall-mounting commercial electronic and telephone equipment in outdoor
areas, as well as indoor industrial applications where chemical vapors and/or high dust
contamination exists.
Precise determination of Base Station location is identified at the time of an RF site survey to
provide optimal coverage (per Base Station). Housings can sometimes be directly mounted on
building surfaces, however radio coverage is generally not optimal under this condition. In
