8.3 INSTALLATION
Three styles of system installation are shown belowError! Reference source not found.. Of these, (a) has the lowest RF
losses and the highest efficiency of power supply to the RU. However, mounting of the battery equipment up the pole may
be considered a disadvantage from a mechanical or installation viewpoint. In (b), the RF losses are still low, but the DC power
losses are highest, whilst in (c) the DC losses are minimised and access is convenient but at the expense of RF performance.
Option (b) may also be achieved using Power over Ethernet (PoE) which is described further in section 8.2.3.9.
Typical pole and rack mounting options for the radio unit
Note: refer to section 8.2.6.1 for grounding and lightning protection considerations.
Regardless of the mounting configuration used, the appropriate site engineering must be undertaken. Site engineering must
consider safety aspects such as grounding and lightening protection but also needs to take performance parameters such as
antenna location, antenna separation and other RF sources. Please contact MiMOMax if more information in these areas is
required.
A comprehensive source of information and guidance on general site engineering issues has been published by ETSI: EG
200 053 v1.5.1, 2004/06 ‘Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); Radio site engineering for radio
equipment and systems’. It is highly recommended that this freely available ETSI document be studied in detail, in conjunction
with this manual.
