Assumptions, Purpose, and Audience
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.
This document is intended for an interWAVE trained field service engineer (FSE) or operator who performs local
installation and commissioning at the customer’s 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.
