1. Product presentation

Sigfox Access Stations operate on a specific frequency bandwidth used by

sigfox devices. They perform mainly receiving operations (uplink), but are also

able to transmit information by doing downlink operations upon device request

The Access Stations Micro include a complete system described in the network

overview below.

Sigfox Access Station Micro series are ultra-wide range, high linearity

transceivers units and feature first class performance radio and innovative

software defined processing, for use in Ultra Narrow Band Machine-To-Machine

wireless communication systems.

Sigfox Access Station Micro system has a pre-set receiver frequency depending

on the radio regulation applicable in the region. This choice is made by a specific

software configuration.

4. Installation site recommendation

Access Station Micro has been developed for indoor and outdoor operation.

Note: For outdoor operation, the adjunction of sealing cover is mandatory to

insure waterproofness (see §4.4).

4.1. Equipment

For temporary location, the base station is perfectly stable sitting on a table, a

desk or a shelf.

For a more permanent installation, we recommend wall or pole fixation

A drill/screwdriver may be required if the station is to be installed on a wall.

4.2. Coexistence with another RF equipment

As any radio equipment, Access station micro should be installed with proper

decoupling precaution versus other radio transmitters. Should the quantified

decoupling recommendation listed below be infringed, the access station micro

would enter degraded operation, including coverage reduction.

Decoupling protection is usually expressed in dB, however for practical reasons,

this guide presents decoupling recommendation in terms of physical separation.

Co-location of access station micro on Telco site or with third party

SRD/ISM systems operating on the same band is forbidden.

Regardless the type of installation, the base station must be installed away from

obstacles possibly altering the reception, and so that it must not receive more

than -20dBm signals from 0 to 821MHz and from 925MHz to 2.5GHz.

General recommendation for outdoor installation would be to not place the

Access Station Micro in direct line of sight of broadcasting equipment or cellular

station.

For indoor installation, place the station in a different room as other RF

equipment, when possible install the station on a different floor.

Use of cell phones in direct vicinity of the Access Station Micro will not affect

neither its range, nor its quality of service.

In case of third party equipment in close proximity, with line of sight visibility and

horizontal alignment, following physical separation is recommended:

System type

Minimum physical separation

Cellular pico station 2m

4.3. Site selection

Radio performance will depend on site configuration. Whatever the type of

installation, the station should be clear of massive obstacles or metallic surface

within 1m, since possibly altering operation.

Indoor:

If the station is to cover a building on several floors, it is recommended to place it

mid-height of the building, but generally in the upper part of the room or area to

cover.

The station should not be used within a metallic closet or in a technical room with

metallic door.

Avoid placing the Sigfox devices in the same room as the station.

Should all the devices be at close proximity, check with the local Operator how to

remotely adjust sensitivity.

Avoid installation on the last floor in case of cellular BS on the roof and away

from windows to reduce RF interferers from cellular/broadcasters”

When installed vertically on a wall, the connector must be facing downward.

Outdoor:

It is recommended for pole and wall installation to place the Access Station

Micro above, in the periphery of and facing the connected devices for best

result.

In case the selected site is located in the centre of the area to be covered, the

station can be placed horizontally on its base.

See on the drawings below the area of devices to be covered in blue.

4.4. Outdoor protection

To install the Access station micro outside, or in an environment exposed to high

humidity, dust, or even to prevent thief, you must use the sealing cover to protect

the connectors and the USB dongle if used.

The sealing cover provides an Ingress Protection IP65.

Ethernet cabling must be Cat5e or above, suitable for outdoor use (with drain

wire).

For more details in cable types and maximum length see the power supply § 5.2

5. Connection and commissioning

5.1. Interface

5.2. Power supply

The station is powered with a PoE. The PoE splitter is integrated in the station.

The power is conveyed from the AC/DC adapter through the DC injector and the

ETH cable.

The equipment must be compliant with safety, EMC country regulations.

Customers may need that to re-confirm that the whole system complies with the

EMC directives

5.2.1. Input requirement

Power supply: PoE (passive) 24V DC and 0.75A

Nominal voltage range: 11V DC to 26V DC from the supplied PoE injector

Station minimum input voltage: 10V DC

Max input current: 1A

Injector DC connector: 5.5mm x 2.1mm

5.2.2. Cable length

If using another ethernet cable than the one provided, select a cable CAT5e or

above, shielded F/FTP, SF/UTP, SF/FTP.

Cable length depends on the wires diameter and station consumption.

For guidance:

Conditions Output power supply Gauge size max length

All 20Vdc < V < 26Vdc AWG26 40m

Temp always > 0°C

(no heating required)

20Vdc < V < 26Vdc AWG26 60m

5.2.3. Power consumption

The power consumption depends on the station mode, use of cellular dongle and

external temperatures.

Typical: 2.3W (RX mode) or 4W (TX mode) with Ethernet connection.

Average power consumption with warm up mode: 4.8W

Peak consumption: 7.5W with heating mode

Heating mode: 6.3W (temperature <0°C)

Use of cellular dongle for connectivity: 5W (max)

Maximum: 12.5W (cellular + warm up mode + TX mode)

5.3. Connectivity

The primary Internet connection is provided by the ethernet connection of the

PoE injector. It can be provided by DSL modem, satellite modem, any kind of

backhaul connection or private LAN.

In case of private LAN or direct Backhaul connection, the host network should

receive proper configuration in order to allow the IP communication between

Sigfox Access station and Sigfox Cloud.

Backup connectivity can be provided with a compatible 3G or 4G USB dongle

(see §3 Package contents). Configuration of the cellular connectivity is not yet

available via the Sigfox portal and must be done with Access Station tool (see

next §5.4 Commissioning).

Performance requirement:

Minimum Throughput: 512 Kbit/s (DL) and 128 Kbit/s (UL)

Maximum latency: 2 s

The following table lists communication ports (inbound and outbound) that must be

open on the host network firewall:

For more details, please contact your Sigfox Operator.

5.4. Commissioning

Commissioning of the station is done online by the Sigfox Operator via the

Backend interface.

Pre-commissioning can also be done with Access Station utility by connecting a

suitable phone or tablet to the USB port of the station.
