I recently
attended an informative webinar on that focused on Distributed Antenna System
planning considerations. The major take
away was that it is important to have a firm understanding of your situation. While it is not meant to be a comprehensive
complete list, here are some of the things that were discussed.
Internal factors
Pathway and transport planning
Plenum, fire and moisture requirements
Head end placement and expansion
Climate controls
Types of end users
Percentage disposition by service provider
Peak usage vs. Non-Peak end user needs
External things to
consider
Antenna location and aesthetics
Donor site location and line of sight
Potential future obstructions such as buildings and foliage
Surrounding traffic generators
Peak usage vs. Non-Peak usage
Especially, if
time has passed since the initial design, it is extremely important to reconfirm
the design. Also of importance is working
closely with the service providers to confirm and clarify your design and other
aspects of your plans well in advance of desired install is crucial.
