Detailed Design & Site Selection

The detailed design phase analyzes, models, and ranks candidate sites for viability and adherence to objectives. It also provides the detailed candidate RF configuration and system parameter settings, such as antenna heights, ERP, tilt angles, etc. The detailed design phase culminates in a candidate-specific construction design.

The candidate site selection process determines specifically where antennas will be located. Typically, the lower bands (i.e. 2 GHz and below) warrant a cellular-type design, while the upper bands warrant more of a microwave-type design, taking into account line-of-sight, reliability, and rain attenuation above 10 GHz.

Site procurement may include purchasing/leasing land, rezoning for tower construction, building a tower, and/or leasing space on an existing tower or building. An existing structure is often favored in order to avoid the potential construction and zoning delays, as well as the often-greater expense of constructing a new tower.
