4. Cables must be routed neatly back to the Core.

Page 23

3.3.3 Wi-Fi Antenna Installation

WARNING Antennas must be mounted more than 30 cm away from the human body.

CAUTION Wi-Fi antennas must be mounted more than 20 cm away from any other bandwidth or application’s antenna.

Note

Wi-Fi connectivity is dependent on network infrastructure which is outside the scope of this Core manual.

Core module communication is transmitted using two Wi-Fi antennas.

1. Route the cables through the existing grommets if possible; if not, modification may be required to route the cables to the required location. If creating a new entry point, use a grommet to protect the cables.

2. The cables must not be cut, kinked, or bent tightly, as performance degrades, and a system

failure may result.

3. Cables must be routed neatly back to the Core module.

4. Wi-Fi antennas must be positioned for maximum coverage (ideally at the highest points of

the vehicle, if this is not possible, on either side of a vehicle) to maximize reception:

⚫ On large vehicles Wi-Fi antennas must be on either side of the vehicle to increase

coverage and visibility to local access points

⚫ On small vehicles with the antennas mounted on top of the vehicle to resolve coverage

issues, placement of the antennas 1/2 or 1 wavelength apart (approximately 12.5cm) can improve signal received strength and minimize the effect of multi-path interference.

3.3.4 External RTK Correction Antenna (CoreHP-WWU only)

For CoreHP, RTK corrections are required. These can be delivered over Wi-Fi or alternatively through an internal or external RTK radio.

⚫ An external RTK radio can be connected using an external communications port; for

example: serial or Ethernet.

⚫ An RTK radio antenna must be mounted with good visibility to the RTK network infrastructure

3.3.5 Cellular Antenna Installation (CoreLP-WWG and CoreHP-WWG only)

WARNING Antennas must be mounted more than 1 m away from the human body.

CAUTION Antennas must be mounted more than 1 m away from any other antenna.

CAUTION The SIM card used must be a data SIM, and data must be activated on the network. Voice-only networks will not carry the data.

Note

Cellular data connectivity is dependent on network infrastructure which is outside the scope of this manual.
