Preface
Welcome!
Welcome to the UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide. This
guide describes how to perform local installation and commissioning of the Micro
BTS at the customer’s site.
Assumptions, Purpose, and Audience
This document is intended for an Alvarion trained field service engineer (FSE) or
operator who performs local installation and commissioning at a customer site.
The FSE or operator should be equipped with the necessary tools for installation
and commissioning, and a basic understanding of the GSM cellular network. The
FSE or Operator should also be familiar with the use of Craft PC and procedures
conducted using the Craft PC.
Alvarion assumes that pre-installation project planning has occurred, and is
documented via a site survey report. This site survey should include items such as
the location of antennas, chassis, power connections and other interface accesses
and temperature control equipment.
Microwave Radio Radiation Warning
Although Alvarion products do not use microwave radio antennas, the equipment
is often mounted in the vicinity of microwave radio antennas. Under normal
operating conditions, microwave radio equipment complies with the limits for
human exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All Alvarion microwave radio equipment is
designed so that under normal working conditions, microwave radiation directly
from the radio is negligible when compared with the permissible limit of
continuous daily exposure recommended in the United States by ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1991 (R1997), Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
Microwave signal levels that give rise to hazardous radiation levels can exist within
transmitter power amplifiers, associated RF multiplexers, and antenna systems.
