3 Installation requirements
This chapter specifies the preparatory requirements for the installation of the
Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station.
3.1 Checking the site
The cabinet installation phase requires that the site is properly surveyed and
prepared, and that all the required external services are correctly installed. The
site survey must identify any special requirements for the installation.
The site must meet the following requirements before an installation can be
started:
1. The site is accessible and safe for working.
2. The safety distance calculations presented in Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base
Station: Warnings and Cautions are being applied.
3. When radio link transmission is used, the rule for line-of-sight to the far
end radios is being applied.
4. The external connections for the cabinet are in place: a site grounding
point, mains power (AC or DC, according to the site) with an appropriate
disconnect device, and a transmission connection point.
5. All required documentation is available. For example, site-specific
installation instructions.
6. The correct BTS delivery package and accessories have been brought to the
site. Refer to Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station: Installation for details.
3.2 Space requirements
The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be mounted on a wall or pole. This
section presents the general issues that must be considered when choosing the
installation space.
