2.3
Examining the Installation Site
1. The site should be located within at least a 60% range of the 1st fresnel zone without
obstacles to provide LOS transmission, increase coverage capacity, and minimize
the number of necessary sites.
2. If no LOS secured, area in NLOS area could be covered as well, but the distance of
coverage and area of coverage are decreased; more sites are needed to provide
coverage for same area than in the LOS scenario.
3. Interference must be considered in site selection. New site should avoid known
interference, unless the interference is controllable.
4. Keep the MST200 away from places that are susceptible to high temperature, dust,
harmful gas, inflammable, explosive, electromagnetic interference (high power radar,
radio station and transformer), unstable voltage, heavy vibration, or loud noise. In
engineering design, the site should be selected according to the network planning
and technical requirements of communications equipment, as well as the
considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and
transportation.
