Mini base station installation guide 1 Ref.: MAN/DPL/000 Rev.: 0.2 Date:03/05/2016 INSTALLATION SITE RECOMMENDATIONS SIGFOX SMBS-T series are multiband, low profile, small factor base stations intended for extension of the SIGFOX base station family. These series are dedicated for quiet radio environments with limited performance for capacity and blocking resistance. This gives a complementary solution for the SIGFOX network based on macro cell SBS-T base stations.
