2.2 Mounting Types
2.2.1 Pole Mounting
Antenna installation is performed on a special facility called antenna pole. The pole is used for
strong antenna tightening at the installation site. Poles might have different modifications
depending on the installation requirements.

2.2.2 Poles with Stretching
Usually this kind of poles are used when installing antennas on a flat surface and allow the
installer to raise the antenna to a significant height for providing optimal conditions for signal
propagation.
2.2.3 Wall Mounting
This kind of mounting is used when there is no need to elevate the antenna above the rooftop
and there is the possibility of mounting it on a wall. This installation is significantly simpler than
the implementation with poles.
Mostly it is used for subscriber side deployments.
2.2.4 Pole Requirements
Easy access and sufficient mechanical durability of the pole should provide quick and reliable
fastening in conditions of high wind loads. Poles should have a round profile for ease of
azimuth adjustment. Typical pole diameter is 30 to 85 mm.
