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.
