2.9.3 Mechanical interface
The antenna pedestal is prepared for mounting devices on the side of the pedestal.
The mounting screw holes (M5x8mm) can support a special designed mounting
bracket to support mounting of a 3rd party hardware device in the antenna.
Fasten the mounting bracket with 4.5 Nm
2.9.4 Example of a 3rd party device integration
The nano-fit connector supplies 12 VDC to power the LTE modem, which interconnects
to the antenna system on one of the LAN ports on the ACM.
The LTE modem enables remote access and/or near-shore high speed Internet. Having
the LTE modem inside the antenna is the ideal position for best possible LTE signal
reception.
