Prepare for Radio Bridge Install

Steps to prepare for the Radio Bridge installation:

Find a Location

• Find a permanent home where the bridge will be protected and not easily accessed:
  • Somewhere where it will not be accidentally moved or unplugged
  • A location where there is good radio reception:
  • A conference area or closet without other electronics to interfere
  • Our goal is to reduce the possibility of radio frequency interference 
  • For example a network closet  would cause RF noise which in turn can cause poor radio transmission quality on the Orion Radio Bridge Group

Equipment Prep & Accessories

• Donor Radios
  • Please have Donor Radios programmed to the Channel + Frequency needed prior to our installation time.
• Battery backup incase of a power outage (Example: APC Back_UPS)
• Cable interference protectors to reduce RF noise traveling into radios from power source (Recommendation:RF Choke)
• Charging Cradle and/or Charging Cable for Donor Radios (need to maintain consistent charge to the radios)

Connectivity

• Unrestricted wired internet connection for the Radio Bridge
• If needed, we can provide the MAC Address to whitelist
