3.2 SITE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
3.2.1 SITE PLANNING
Site Considerations
The MU is designed to be located indoors to facilitate coupling of BTS signals and power supply
connections. The input range of MU RF unit is 10~30 dBm.
The site consideration for RU is listed below:
 The distance between the service antenna of RU and coverage area should satisfy line of sight
requirements for maximum coverage area.
 The maximum fiber length is 8 miles, with a maximum path loss of 6.5dBo.
 The system delay of the optical system must be taken into consideration when there are neighboring
BTS sites overlapping in coverage.
Installation Location
Mounting surface shall be capable of supporting the weight of the equipment.
In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, a proper mounting location must be selected to minimize
interference from electromagnetic sources such as large electrical equipment.
Environmental
Humidity has an adverse effect on the reliability of the equipment. It is recommended to install the
equipment in locations having stable temperature and unrestricted air-flow.
The installation location for the system should be well ventilated. The equipment has been designed to
operate at the temperature range and humidity level as stated in the product specifications.
Powering
The power supply unit (PSU) provides power to all modules within the equipment. Depending on the
product variant, it is recommended that the PSU operates on a dedicated AC circuit breaker or fused
circuit.
Grounding Requirement
Verify that the equipment has been well grounded. This includes antennas and all cables connected to
the system. Ensure lightning protection for the antennas is properly grounded.
Cable Routing
Depending on equipment configuration, a variety of types of cables are connected to the MU and RU:
coaxial cables, optical fibers, power cable, communication cable, and commissioning cable. Where
applicable, ensure cables are properly routed and secured so that they are not damaged.
