4.3 (Step 7) GPS
For proper operation of the GPS receiver, the Node B must have a clear southern view of the sky.
A site survey should be done before Node B installation to verify that the Node B installation
location is suitable for GPS reception. A simple survey method is to take a handheld GPS
receiver to the site and verify that GPS lock is obtained in the location of the Node B installation.
The handheld GPS should be able to obtain a “locked” condition within 2 minutes of power-on,
and should be able to see a minimum of 4 satellites at all times. Note that when the Node B is to
be installed on or near a tower or building wall, the GPS survey should replicate this
configuration exactly.
