2.3 Antenna Connectors
The BreadCrumb ES1 provides up to four Type N female antenna connectors. Two antenna connectors
are located on the top of the enclosure and two on the bottom of the enclosure.
Many BreadCrumb radios offer antenna diversity or Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) features, in
which case two antenna ports per radio are utilized. Some radios utilize only one antenna port. Each an-
tenna connector will be labeled with a unique letter (A, B, C or D) and the frequency of its corresponding
radio.
Required Antenna Separation
The antennas from any transceiver of the BreadCrumb ES1 may not be co-located with the antennas of
any other transceiver. The co-location restriction is satisfied by maintaining 20 cm separation between
the antennas of different tranceivers. There is no restriction for the separation between the antennas
from the same transceiver, but testing at installation is recommended to verify the system performance
that is achieved with a specific antenna deployment.
