Q5: The customer wants to have Wi-Fi coverage all over the bus with UR75 5G router. Is there any recommendations for placing antennas?


Answer: 

  1. UR75 5G router has 2 Wi-Fi antennas and 4 cellular antennas. It's recommended to mount the router on the top of the bus.
  2. For Wi-Fi antennas, one is 2.4GHz, and the other is 5GHz. The antenna position is recommended to be in the middle top of the bus, and direction is pointing to the bus.
  3. Cellular Antennas are screw /magnet mounted outside the bus. The length of the cable should be less than 2 meters if possible to reduce signal attenuation.
