4.1 Radio planning:

For radio planning, one may use the standard Sigfox tool for a candidate site. If using an external 5dBi antenna, the

parameters should be the same as a Sigfox Macro configuration (5dBi antenna + LNA +..).

In the Sigfox backend, make sure that the chosen site is covered by one or more Sigfox BSs an add the NBX as a

candidate site to predict coverage. Coverage check can be made with Simple coverage, as there will be a 10+ dB

improvement at rooftop level relative to ground level (which the Backend estimates).

Then change the antenna gain by selecting “other” and for basic antenna use 0 dBi as a worst case OR 5dBi/TBD for

external antenna you use.
