1. INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
1.1 Base Station synopsis
Sigfox base stations operate on reception on a specific frequency bandwidth used by
sigfox terminals. They are also able if necessary to transmit information to do single or
multi-cast back to these terminals.
The base stations include a complete system described in the following synopsis.
The antenna characteristics depend on the operating frequency band and specific site
constraints (gain, height, etc.).
Sigfox will provide the transceiver unit called Sigfox Base Station transceiver (SBS-T)
version 3 and the corresponding antenna low noise switch/amplifier (LNAC or LNA). This
component integrates a low noise amplifier in reception mode and a switch that bypasses
this stage in transmission mode.
This device characteristic depends also on operating frequency bands applicable in the
region.
Sigfox Base Station transceiver (SBS-T) version 3 series are ultra-wide range, high linearity
transceivers units and feature first class performance radio and innovative software
defined processing, for use in Ultra Narrow Band Machine-To-Machine wireless
communication systems.
Base Station transceiver (SBS-T) version 3 can have a pre-set receiver frequency depending
on the radio regulation applicable in the region. This choice is made by a specific software
configuration.
