A list of possible configurations will help the customer to decide exactly what is required. A specification of where base stations should be placed. This can be marked on the survey map, but additional information such as height and fixing instructions should be included where appropriate.
A specification of the areas that will be covered by the base station and the areas that may cause problems. This can be useful when testing the system.
The theoretical maximum number of overlapping cells is 10, if all time slots and frequencies are used. If not all time slots and frequencies are used, this value is higher. However this is unlikely to be reached in practical situations.
For a large site where a thorough survey has been impossible, it may be prudent to add additional base stations to the product offer to allow for unforeseen problem areas.

zFor each base station, the following details of its connection to a WTI port are required:

9 Whether existing cabling is present that might be used and if so, the type of cabling (twisted pair, star quad, wire diameter, etc.)
9 Presence of free pairs, etc. cabling layout (risers, horizontal wiring, distribution frames) and whether existing cabling can be used or new wiring is required.
