The document describes an antenna alignment tool called the 3Z RF Aligner and an antenna monitoring sensor called the Antenna WASP. The 3Z RF Aligner is a lightweight, compact tool that uses GPS technology to measure antenna alignment and save measurements for reporting. It can be used by RF engineers and tower crews. The Antenna WASP is a wireless sensor that monitors antenna alignment hourly and detects any unwanted changes, alerting operators. It can monitor up to 18 antennas and has a 10+ year battery life.

- 4. SPECIFICATION The 3Z RF Aligner is the most lightweight AAT in the market. The 3Z RF Aligner is the world’s leader Antenna Alignment Tool for both panel antennas and microwave systems. The 3Z RF Aligner reduces site re-visits and re-climbs by optimizing network Performance. The 3Z RF Aligner is the most compact GPS Antenna Alignment Tool in the industry. It incorporates GPS Technology to calculate precise Azimuth, Tilt, Roll and AGL measurements for a multitude of directional antenna systems. Our universal antenna mounting system is used for quick antenna attachment and release. The 3Z RF Aligner is user friendly and easy to transport up any tower. Save all your antenna installation measurements for recordkeeping and reporting; easily accessible over USB.
- 6. RF ENGINEERS The 3Z RF Aligner was designed for RF Engineers as well. During site inspections, site troubleshooting, and new site design most RF Engineers carry a compass, GPS, and a range finder. The 3Z RF Aligner replaces all these devices, making field visits a breeze.
- 7. TOWER CREW Designed with the tower technician in mind, the 3Z RF Aligner easily attaches to virtually any directional antenna and comes with an easy to read 4.3″ built-in color LCD display. Screenshots save measurements in seconds.
- 8. ANTENNA ALIGNMENT GROUND INSPECTIONS The 3Z RF Aligner was designed by RF engineers. During site inspections, site troubleshooting and new site design, most RF Engineers carry a compass, GPS and a range finder. The 3Z RF Aligner replaces all these devices, making field visits a breeze. Ensure Proper 4G Antenna Integration and Performance When 4G antennas are installed, the 3Z RF Aligner helps the RF engineers ensure Antenna azimuth is within target specifications. Note: A magnetic compass cannot be used on most rooftops. The 3Z RF Aligner can be used anywhere a GPS signal is available.

- 12. ANTENNA MONITORING SENSOR Main Functions Antenna WASP is a Wireless Antenna Sensor Pod that when attached to an antenna, hourly monitors its alignment in 3 dimensions: azimuth, down-tilt and roll. The Antenna WASP will detect and report any undesired changes to all antennas being monitored (up to 18 antennas per site).
- 13. FROM THE FIELD TO YOUR DESK The Antenna WASP is alarm capable Each antenna can be individually identified on a tower or throughout the entire network. Via our robust remote monitoring software, a network operator has the ability to set thresholds for changes in azimuth, tilt and roll. When these thresholds are exceeded, an alarm will be generated and the operator will be notified immediately. If an undesired change occurs, an operator can act quickly to restore communications to optimal performance.
- 14. EASY TO SET UP THE ANTENNA WASP’S INSTALLATION IS AN EASY 3 STEP PROCESS, DESIGNED WITH THE TECHNICIAN IN MIND. AN AVERAGE 9-ANTENNA SITE CAN BE INSTALLED AND OPERATIONAL WITHIN ONE HOUR. QUALITY STANDARDS EVERY ANTENNA WASP SENSOR IS DESIGNED TO SURPASS PERFORMANCE STANDARDS REQUIRED FOR WIRELESS MONITORING PRODUCTS. IT HAS A BATTERY LIFETIME OF 10 + YEARS AND STRICTLY ENFORCES WATERPROOF SEALING STANDARDS IP67.
