Intended Audience for this Manual
This manual is intended for system designers and planners, base station installers,
system operators, and others requiring or desiring information about the PacketWave
System. It provides information specific to the PacketWave system, but cannot and should
not be considered a tutorial on relevant technologies and practices.
It is expected that system designers and planners are knowledgeable about radio
communications, cellular communication systems, and IP networks. Tutorials on these
subjects are beyond the scope of this manual, and are readily available in published and

professionals with knowledge of the principles and standard practices and procedures of
cell site installation, all relevant safety requirements, and applicable local building codes.
