Page 18: Vehicle Installation
Vehicle Installation The Moovbox delivers mobile broadband connectivity to vehicles large and small. This section will help you understand how to optimize your in-vehicle Moovbox instal- lation. 3.1 Choosing a suitable location for your equipment To get the best out of your Moovbox when planning an in-vehicle deployment, you need to consider: Positioning of the Moovbox unit for security and accessibility Proximity of power source... - Page 19 CHAPTER 3. VEHICLE INSTALLATION Moovbox The Moovbox should be installed in a location where its safe from unwanted casual tampering yet accessible for servicing. This can vary considerably between different types of vehicle. In a car probably the best location is in the boot/trunk. However in larger commercial vehicles finding the right spot will depend on the specific design of the interior.
- Page 20 WAN reception should be adequate with dash or window- mount antennas. Icomera recommends a roof-mount antenna, please contact your supplier for available options. Note: If you are only installing WAN backhaul and not GPS, then you have some flexibility in your choice of antenna location.
- Page 21 (requiring a hole to be drilled in the metal roof) often nets the best result, as the antenna is then outside and fitted on metal groundplane for optimal reception (B). Note: Contact your supplier for more information about professional installations, as many Icomera Channel Partners are qualified to design your Moovbox deployment.
