THE PANEL ANTENNA The panel is a directional antenna with a 120 degree reach and is designed to distribute the signal from a perimeter wall or ceiling.
Contact Tech Support at 1.800.215.7015 or email at support@signifimobile.com NOTE: installing additional distribution (indoor) antennas may be necessary when the area that needs coverage is very large or has barriers that block cellular signals such as multi level homes and buildings. The following diagrams show the reach of each antenna based on the layout of the space they are mounted in: Image 1&2: Omni directional antennas will provide better coverage for square rooms.
Contact Tech Support at 1.800.215.7015 or email at support@signifimobile.com ANTENNA SEPARATION Oscillation is caused when the indoor (distrubution) antenna sends a signal back into the outdoor (signal) antenna. Similar to a PA system, when the microphone gets too close to the speaker it causes feedback. This will occur if your antennas are too close together, or the indoor antenna is pointed at the outdoor antenna.
