112 Planning2.1 Network & Site PlanningWhen installing multiple Neutrino eNodeBs (eNBs) in the same general location, for exampleto cover an entire floor of a building, you will need to perform network and site planning toensure that all target areas are properly covered for wireless service. Radio Frequency (RF)performance can be diminished by numerous factors, including interference from other eNBsand other radiating devices, and the existence of walls or other obstructions.You need to consider the density of users and the required capacity to meet their needs. Theselected frequency, power, and other settings also affect RF performance. For these reasons,you should perform a site survey and plan the distance between eNBs. A site survey may bead hoc, or you may wish to use a third-party site survey and RF planning application, or youcan hire professionals to complete the planning.Other types of network planning involve IP addressing; the selection of unique network andcell site identifiers that are used when configuring LTE networks; and for each installation site,the availability of a power source as well as proximity to the local gateway equipment.2.2 Mounting OptionsThe Baicells Neutrino-224 eNB was designed for easy deployment.
