ClearGain Cell Site Amplifiers How to Use the Deployment Guide Sections 1 through 3 The guide is divided into three easy-to-navigate sections. Although this format allows you to pick and choose which sections to view the most effective way to use this document is to work through each section in order. You will be asked to complete a cell-site audit which offers the dual benefit of allowing you to document your current situation and providing ADC with the necessary information to answer your tough wireless questions. Section 1 Evaluating your Cell Site Section 2 Tower-Mount Amplifiers vs. Ground-Mount Amplifiers Section 3 Case Studies Cell Site Amplifier Deployment Scenarios Note You will encounter many acronyms throughout this document. Although they will be defined along the way an acronym key is provided in the appendix. Section 1 Evaluating your Cell Site A successful cell site deployment begins with building a solid foundation. Your partner requires a thorough understanding of your needs and priorities. In Section 1 we examine the objectives of your cell site deployment and the considerations that need to be addressed in this project. Tower Considerations 1 What is the height of the tower s you are interested in improving 2 Is wind loading a concern Yes No 3 Do you currently lease the tower Yes No go to .
