To ensure maximum performance of the antenna system and to
maximise availability and reliability of service the antenna must; • Minimize horizontal obstructions as much as possible
because they can create areas of poor system coverage.
• have a clear line of site to the sky

Installing Antenna Cables
When installing antenna cables, follow these guidelines:
• Route and restrain cables to prevent them from vibrating
or moving under normal conditions, which could result in
WARNING damage to the antenna or the coaxial cable connections.
Galvanic Corrosion Protection • Wherever the cables contact structures, protect the
cables from chafing or abrasion. If a cable needs to be
