Planning the installation
This section describes issues you need to consider before you install the base stations,
including:
Choosing locations for the base station installation
Planning for service provider equipment components
Selection antennas
Defining naming conventions for cells, sectors, and base stations and for VLANs
Choosing an installation location
The base station’s location at a site depends on many factors, including the site’s physical
environment, the coverage pattern you want to achieve, and the ease of maintenance you
require.
RMB installation location
The RMB is always installed indoors, inside the base station cabinet and on a standard 19 inch
rack. In turn, the rack is installed in an indoor equipment room or in another type of indoor
housing unit such as a shed near the tower.
