3.1 Checking the site

Base Station: Warnings and Cautions have been made and taken into
account.
3. When radio link transmission is used, the line-of-sight to the far end radios
has been ensured.
4. External connections for the cabinet are available: site grounding point,
mains power (AC or DC according to the site) with appropriate disconnect
device, and transmission connection point.
5. All required documentation is available, for example, site-specific
installation instructions.
6. The correct BTS delivery has been brought to the site.
3.2 Space requirements
The Nokia MetroSite GSM BTS can be mounted on a wall or pole. This section
