Preface

Welcome!

Welcome to the UltraWAVE BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide. This guide is written to provide

the user with installation guidelines and procedures which will be required to set-up and initially

configure the BTS.

Assumptions, Purpose, and Audience

This document is intended for an interWAVE 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.

interWAVE 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 interWAVE 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 interWAVE Communications, Inc. 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.
