Site Preparation
Site preparation time varies, depending on the particular site. For
example, installation in a new location may require building
modifications, while an existing building would not.
Licenses and Permits Verify all licensing and permit issues. Such issues may include:
• Import/export licenses for the site country
• Radio licenses, both station license and frequency license
Other permits may also be required, depending on location. Some
typical examples include:
• Landlord approval of plans for the pending construction
• Construction permits
• Electrical permits
• Zoning or use permits for the proposed facility and examina-
tion of possible impact on neighboring areas
Note When placing antennas near airports, it may be necessary to obtain
authorization from the appropriate aviation authorities.

equipment.

available.
• Verify that lightning protection and grounding systems are
available and comply with local building codes.
• If prime AC power needs to be installed, use a licensed electri-
cal contractor. Verify all components are installed in accordance
