2.1 ANALYZING SITE REQUIREMENTS
Before a site is chosen or equipment installed, a site survey must be carried out. The site
survey checklist assists the surveyor with the inspection and the collection of site specific
information such as environmental conditions, electrical requirements, and mechanical
requirements. This site survey should also include the location of the InterReach picoBTS and
InterReach Unison or Fusion distributed antenna system (DAS) including the placement of the
distributed antenna system remote radio heads throughout the target structure.
The site survey checklist must be completed before installation begins. The InterReach DAS
documentation provides additional detailed site requirements.
The site readiness checklist assists the field service engineer or operator to ensure that the site
is ready for equipment installation. It includes information about:
• Environmental conditions
• Electrical requirements
• Chassis requirements
2.1.1 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The picoBTS is designed to operate indoors only. To facilitate long-term operability and dura-
bility of the picoBTS, observe specific environmental constraints.
Before installing the picoBTS, ensure that the operating environment maintains a temperature
within the range shown in Table 2-1.
2.1.2 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The picoBTS is specified to operate on AC power. This document defines the electrical
requirements for the picoBTS only.
Caution: Make sure the ambient temperature around the unit (which may be higher than the room tem-
perature) is within the limit specified for the unit.
