This guide is designed to provide the information needed to mount A8 base station (BTS) and
A8 antenna at the site location.
The document is applicable for hardware platform A8 R2 and the following models.
Product name : A8 802.11ab/g AP BS/Bridge AC
Model number: WA8011A-A
Product name : A8 802.11b/g AP BS AC
Model number: WA8011A-B
It is assumed in this document that a site survey has been performed before the site installation.
The appropriate antenna pole and BTS locations have been selected. It is a good practice to have
a document consists of a map and drawing illustrating the base station and poles locations,
antenna bearing/down-tilt, antenna height, etc… An planning on IP network is also an important
issue for network planning.
