suggesteD installation
select an installation location
„ ANThill beacon should be installed wherever GPS signals are
unreliable or unavailable.
„ By default ANThill will transmit in a radius of about 40 feet but
range is dependent upon obstructions in the environment
and mounting position.
„ Beacons should be mounted as high in a room as practi-
cal with minimal obstructions to interfere with the wireless
signal.
„ Continuous coverage of an area is not a requirement, but it is
beneficial.
„ It is ok to have ANThill signals overlap. Only the strongest
beacon signal will be used to identify a worker’s location.
„ Consider placing ANThill near circulation pinch-points like
doorways, catwalks or gates.
„ Ensure that areas with poor visual access are adequately cov-
ered. For example behind permanent equipment.
„ Obstructions that are made of metal or concrete will reduce
signal range compared to wooden structures.
™ For more granular location awareness install more ANThill
beacons operating at lower transmit power settings. See
Transmit Power Settings
