Macro Base Station Installation Procedures (NPM-1000)

Conventions

This section outlines the conventions used in this guide.

Measurement Conventions

Measurements in this guide are expressed according to the Systeme International d’Unites (SI)

standards for metric units and abbreviation. Equivalent Imperial measurements (used in the United

States) are provided in parentheses, except when Imperial is the international standard.

Bits and Bytes

For clarity, bits and bytes are not abbreviated in this document, but their prefixes are. SOMA

Networks follows the common practice of using SI prefixes (base 10) with these terms. Thus, 1 kbit/s

(kilobit per second) is equivalent to 1000 bits/s; it should not be confused with 1 Kibit/s (kilobinary

bit per second) or 1 x 2

= 1024 bits/s.

Unless otherwise specified, SI prefixes with bits and bytes in this document refer to a power of 10.

Typographical Conventions

Table 3 shows how different fonts are used throughout this guide.
