Site Prerequisites, Continued

Outdoorgroundingsystem

A dedicated, low-resistance grounding system (typically < 3 Ω) is required.

A grounding point (designated GND) should be located close to the mountingposition of the BRB radio boxes.

Each BRB will be connected to this grounding point, via the suppliedgrounding cable. This will provide protection of the equipment againstharmful lightning conditions.

Coaxial cables The coaxial cables, connecting the indoor units with the outdoor BRB boxes,should be of coaxial 75-ohm type.

The maximum length of these cables depends on their quality and the

degradation that they impose to the IF signal.Typical lengths are 145 m, using low-loss coaxial cable (RG-11)

NOTE

Under no circumstance should the total attenuation (imposed bythe coaxial cable itself) exceed 15 dB.

Proximity toGSM (2G / 3G)installations

GSM Cables:

The WiBAS coaxial cables must be spaced f rom neighboring GSM cablesand antennas for at least 30cm. This guideline mainly refers to the RG-6cable, of which the screening effectiveness may severely be deteriorated if

not properly rolled out. Therefore, the use of RG-11 type is highlyrecommended.

As a general rule, the close proximity with the GSM cables should beavoided (wherever this is possible). The more distance the WiBAS cablesare running in parallel with the GSM cables, the higher the amount ofinterference that will be collected.

The cable must be in good condition, without any visible breakings ordeterioration and properly terminated, as instructed in this manual.

Also, extra care must be taken during the cable unrolling from the bin, asaccidental twists may affect cable’s performance.

GSM Antennas:

When WiBAS and GSM equipment is to be collocated, BRB must beinstalled on the same pole / mast, below or above the neighboring GSMantennas and at a distance no less than 4 m.

If a different pole / mast is the only option, then the BRB should be installedin such a way that it is located outside the -20 dB radiation pattern of allneighboring 2G / 3G antennas, with a minimum horizontal distance of 4 m between the pole (where the BRB and the BRA are installed) and the polesaccommodating GSM antennas.



23/72


21

Site Prerequisites, Continued

Premisesrequirements

• The outdoor equipment, inclusive of the BRBs, should be mounted on a

mast or on a tower.• The mast, onto which a BRB system is to be mounted, should be perfectly

perpendicular to allow correct alignment of the antenna.

• For wall mounting installation:

− The wall-mounting surface should be cement or brick masonry.

− The holes, required for inserting the wall plugs (upats), should be drilledat positions where no built-in cables are running.

• Each antenna should point toward the covered geographical sector,according to the planned co-ordinates. No obstacles should exist within theantennas’ beaming lobes.

• Access to the installation premises must be facilitated during the installationperiod.

• The roof must be engineered to bear the weight of the service personneland the outdoor equipment.

• Appropriate cable conduits should exist for the routing of installed cables,inclusive of the coaxial IF cable(s) connecting the indoor equipment withthe outdoor BRB boxes on the building’s roof .
