Last Updated on 2 years by admin

Finding the right mounting place for your COTX X3 is one of the key things. This could directly affect the income you make. Therefore, consider COTX X3 hotspot miner installation as the 1st priority.

Key things to consider during COTX X3 installation

• If you live in a house or apartment that has multiple flows, it is ideally best to select the highest floor. And be sure to select a window with a clear sky view
  

• Avoid installing the COTX hotspot which is not open. Example – in cabinets, behind televisions, metal meshes…etc

• Maintain 300m to 500m distance between two hotspots. However, in crowded areas distance can be lower than open areas

• Use the tool https://app.hotspotty.net/hexes to check the location. Once you mark the location hotspotty display the status
  

• Find more information based on Hex Density Based Transmit Reward Scaling

• Pick the right Antenna for your location. We have a detail article on selecting Right Antenna for Helium Hotspot

• If the plan is to install an outdoor antenna try getting it higher than the other buildings, trees. Moreover try installing even above mountains as long as it is practically possible. Installing the antenna at a higher ground could provide better impact than antenna gain quality. Also, try having the antenna around 5 meters higher than the other building in your surrounding

• Furthermore, while trying to install the antenna in a higher ground you should try to keep the cable as short as possible. Also, find thick cable to minimize the cable loss. As an alternative to lengthy cables you can try installing the COTX X3 outdoor enhancement kit
  

• Test the performance of the Antenna using the discovery function on Helium App. Furthermore, this option enables you to examine the RF communication among surrounding helium hotspots and continue tests on Antenna, Height and feeder..etc
