Position the gateway in such a way that the transmission power of model PEW-1000 is optimally utilized. For this, the

Depending on the application, a gateway for indoor or outdoor use should be selected.
■
The radiation characteristics of the antenna should be taken into account when positioning the gateway.
■
If the sensors are located on one level, vertical mounting of the LoRaWAN
■
recommended. The location should ideally be in the middle of the area to be covered.
If the sensors are located on several levels, the gateway should be placed in the middle of the building and the
■
gateway antenna should be aligned horizontally.
Another option is to place the gateway outside the building and align the antenna vertically. In this way, a sufficient
■
radio connection can be established from the outside to several floors.
In outdoor areas, ensure that the gateway is mounted at a sufficient height and is not covered by anything in the
