Appendix J: Outdoor Enclosures
Overview
The information in this Appendix is intended to assist Navini Networks’ customers in identifying
typical features and requirements for an outdoor telecommunications equipment enclosure
(outdoor cabinet or cabinet) that is compatible with Navini Networks Base Transceiver Station
(BTS) equipment. This document is not intended to be an all-inclusive explanation of outdoor
cabinet design and selection requirements.
Instead, it is focused on providing customers with design suggestions for an outdoor cabinet that
will attempt to replicate an environmentally controlled indoor environment for Navini Networks
BTS equipment. Additionally, other design and performance suggestions are provided in an
effort to assist customers, who may be unfamiliar with developing requirements for outdoor
cabinets, to communicate more effectively a set of design and performance requirements to a
cabinet manufacturer.
The information in this document pertains only to Navini Networks BTS equipment. Customers
are advised to consult with a manufacturer specializing in the construction of customized outdoor
cabinets and to take the manufacturer’s recommendations for designing an outdoor cabinet that
will meet Navini Networks BTS equipment installation and operating requirements.
Due to (a) customer-specific site installation requirements and/or installation standards and the
use of customer supplied ancillary equipment, including but not limited to rectifiers, batteries,
microwave radios, networking equipment, network interface equipment, or other electronic,
electrical, and mechanical components, and (b) customer supplied third-party installation
services, Navini Networks cannot guarantee the operational performance of BTS equipment
installed within an outdoor cabinet that does not maintain an operating environment within the
defined operating parameters of the Navini Networks BTS equipment.
Navini Networks does not manufacture or sell outdoor cabinets, and does not recommend
the use of any particular manufacturer’s outdoor cabinet.
