3.7 Install Equipment on Outdoor Structure
Installing the eNB should be performed only by qualified installation technicians per the
operator's network design plan and according to industry standard safety precautions.
Hoisting the RF antenna and eNB onto a tower or other structure may require more than one
person. Follow standard safety precautions for working at the expected height and as required
for electrical installations. Always wear proper tower climbing safety gear and follow tower
climbing safety certification rules. This section provides recommendations for the installation.
NOTE: It does not matter if the eNB or the antenna is installed first, or together at
the same time.
3.7.1 Cable Length
In general, it is best to keep the RF cable length between the eNB and antenna as short as
possible to minimize signal attenuation. Typically, the eNB will be located within a few feet
from the antenna.
3.7.2 GPS Positioning Considerations
Consider the following concerning GPS positioning when installing the eNB.
The GPS antenna should be free of any major blocking from buildings in the vicinity. Make
sure the space atop within 45 to 90 degrees is not blocked by any buildings.
