-Because of the metal cage encompassing the upper platform of the tower, the antennas had to be placed at a distance, otherwise, their range might be impacted. With the help of the former miner **Jörg Kamps** from the HSRW FabLab Team, we together designed a simple holder and he could manufacture multiple ones made from stainless steel. These enabled us to specifically tune the distance from the metal cage for each individual antenna. Therefore we used our Network Analyzer which enables us to see the frequency at which the antennas are able to receive data.+Because of the metal cage encompassing the upper platform of the tower, the antennas had to be placed at a distance, otherwise, their range might be impacted.
