thenumberandtheconstructionofthewalls,andtheproximitytootherFemtocells.

Firstly,locateyournearestLANport,broadbanddatarouterorcablemodem,asthis

willneedtobeconnectedtotheFemtocell.

ItisworthspendingalittletimethinkingaboutwheretoplaceyourFemtocell.

Considerationsshouldincludewhereyouaremostlikelytomakeorreceivecalls:If

youwantedtotalktoeveryoneinyourhomeorofficewithoutshoutingtooloudly

thenwherewouldyoustand?ThatisprobablyagoodlocationfortheFemtocell.



Ideally,placeyourFemtocellsomewherecentralinanelevatedlocationandcloseto

awindow.

Forevenbettercoveragethroughoutthehome,theexternalGPSantennacanbe

connectedandplacedbyawindowtoallowtheFemtocelltobelocatedinamore

centrallocation. 

ToavoidinterferenceitisrecommendedthattheFemtocellisplacedatleast1m

awayfromanycordlessphonebaseunitorwirelessLANrouter.

YourFemtocellwillgenerateasmallamountofheat,soavoidpositioningtheunitin

anenclosedspaceorindirectsunlight.Keepyourdeviceatleast2inches(5cm)

fromwallsandothersurfacestoensureproperairflow.
